Central Remedial Clinic debacle

Will this Government ever manage grow the balls to come to grips with the 'Snouts in the Trough' attitude of the so-called elite in this country?

No problems at all clamping down on a poor 'divil' on the dole getting a days work now and then.

There are reports that the Gardai may be called in, I'd say all the CEOs are trembling.

Bertie Ahern sure knows how to pick them.....he was another pal of Ahern appointed to the post.

I have to say Shane Ross is absolutely brilliant to listen to in the Public Accounts Committee. He is ripping the CRC a new one whenever he gets a chance.

I am afraid those staff on normal salaries levels and served by charities will suffer from this and inevitable drop in contributions.

But I will only be giving to those charities who stick to good codes of ethics and conduct.

The same political characters always get these plum director roles.

Will any of this secret top up money be given back to charity. Could CAB get involved?

Its a disgrace. It totals 1/2 of the revenue generated by the bear/pin sales..to think that could have gone to help a very ill child or adult instead of resting in some Khoonts account

I very rarely giving a sh!t on about these threads but to be honest listening/reading about this makes my blood boil

Disgrace to society and its a bigger disgrace that the government couldnt really give to fiddlers

I listened to the RTE drivetime breakdown of todays committee roasting, it was comical and depressing to listen to hapless spoofer Brian Conlan (?) attempt to explain how he got the job of running the CRC.

He did not have a clue.... Tool

I don't understand what's going on here like,I mean he failed to disclose the other 700k pension payout he got,why isn't the gardai looking into this?it's a clear as day that there's some major fraud/corruption going on here

Love seeing Shane Ross grabbing these boys by the collar, pointing out in black and white their total corruption and scumbaggary while they squirm and murmur sickeningly poor excuses.

The man is wholly credible and it's disgusting that he is the is only one real voice in the dail fighting this scourge. All the rest twiddle their thumbs and shuffle their feet as they know, true be known, they are all on the take. Sitting pretty up to their ears with overpaid advisers and laughable expenses.

I hate the rabble rabble rabble get the bankers stuff but a times it is often understated to call things a travesty. The whole debacle with the charities is horrendous. The whole thing has turned people against worthy charities and donating to them. This bad taste will linger and the people fundraising will have their work cut out to gain back an iota of trust from the people. This will have a massive knock on effect and the big wig CEOs won't lose a single second of sleep as they are tanning themselves on their third holiday of the year in Barbados.

All this charity stuff is a cop out by the government, who should be doing all this work and paying for it by extra taxation. That can't be done here because the rich would be severely tapped, unlike the present situation where poor suckers pay disproportionately to charities.

Its theft from sick children, why aren't the gardai investigating this.

Jonathan Irwin put it in perspective on prime time this evening, as regards hours taken from the needy, to support the pensions and expenses for these low life parasites. This is Ireland after all for the parasite to reach the top.

Hopefully this will roll till the EU and local elections and destroy the necessary.
