It disgusts me to see, year in, year out, billions of euro just sifting away. There is a big row about it on day one, a big row about it when the Comptroller and Auditor General publishes the big report and then it just drifts away, and there are no governance processes improved and nothing done to scale up the State to ensure that it does not happen again.
