Public Accounts

It's that time of the year again, for the report from the Comptroller and Auditor General. And like every other year, it shows squandering of our money by our cushy and inefficient civil service.

There are some areas of improvement, though. Under minister Joan Burton, the department of Social Affairs has managed to cross-reference information from the taxi regulator database and the landlords' register, showing some taxi drivers and landlords/landladies fraudulently getting unemployment benefits.

And apparently, our water mains are leaking as much as ever, despite 1 billion spent in the last ten years to fix the water network!
