A national hospital that is six years late and €1.4 billion over budget; an opaque HSE coming down with management that can swallow up billions of euro but cannot make a decision; €300 million spent on Dublin metro projects without any construction; dozens of flood defences stuck in a banjaxed planning and court system; not one approval for a wind farm in 12 months and just seven offshore wind turbines built in 20 years; more than 100 electric buses sitting for 18 months due to a lack of charging points; 500 modular homes that were meant to be built in October 2022 yet to be delivered; €22 million worth of dodgy ventilators bought by the HSE being stored at a cost of €75 million; spending €18 million fighting €14 billion of Apple tax due to Ireland; and €10 million of HSE rent overpayments because someone mismeasured the rooms. No one is ever held responsible or held to account. When it comes to administration, is this one of the most wasteful Governments in the history of this State?
