As dogs' dinners go, this section would get the Michelin star for canine catering. One might say that it takes the dog biscuit. Senator Craughwell put his finger on it when he identified part of what is going on here, which is the increasing trend of farming out, postponing and creating barriers to responsibility for mistakes or bad choices made, or worse. There is a sense that we cannot trust the people to whom we entrust roles. It seems that has the Government being ró-fhlaithiúlach with people's money, constantly providing for the importation and deployment of consultants and advisers. I presume it is not intended that they will act pro bono.
