    Martin Cullens abuse of government jet
    Mary Harney's abuse of the government jet (a few years back but dont know how recent you want the list to be)
    Bertie Ahern, plain and simply. The man and his whole life is a scandal.
    Roddy Molloy and FAS expenses
    Patrick Neary playing cosy with the people he was supposed to regulate
    Patrick Neary and his secret payoff
    Sean Fitzpatricks hidden loans
    Proping up of Anglo balance sheet
    The Anglo golden circle
    ODCE foor dragging on the Anglo case
    No prosecutions brought in the banking scandals
    Most government expenses
    Paying off NTR 600M for electronic tolling (actually the whole giving away of the M50bridge asset to NTR, contract signed by, among others, Ray Burke and P Flynn)
    Cowens misleadfing/lies to the dail re Molloy
    PPARS
    Port Tunnell over runs
    Luas overruns
    Luas construction allowed to take so long it put many put many people out of business on Harcourt Street
    Still no link between the green and red Luas lines
    The near death of a whole train load of people north of Malahide because the government would not fund the railway safety group adequately to conduct proper inspections
    The underfunding of the health service to such an extent that countless peopple suffer and die as a result of the negligence
    School children having to be tought in rat infested and wholey inadequate facilities. If schools were private concerns the health and safety authority would have closed many of them down. But the governmenbt skews everything in their favour.

    I could go on but I dont have the time.

    Ok, will try the cut and paste thing and see if we can lengthen the list!!

    JOD and his Expenses
    The price of a pint
    Nama
    Rody Molloy's pay-off compared to treatment by State of victims of sexual abuse.
    Anglo
    INBS
    DDDA
    FF
    The fact Mary Coughlan and Willie O Dea have a job, let alone a high payed public money funded job.
    Dept of finance seemingly exempt from criticism even though they were involved in or should have known about pretty much all of the scandals that will be on this list as they have oversight or were directly involved.
    why on earth have they (upper echelon) not been held up for public ridicule and sacked?

    Banking scandals: the Anglo nationwide loans and deposits.

    Bonuses to failed and corrupt bankers.

    Bonuses to failed and corrupt Public Servants such as Rody Molloy and the financial regulator.
    The fact that seemingly no effort was made to bring these people to punishment...

    The intertwined relationships between the people who are supposedly directing the changes to our failed govt are those most responsible for the situation: the department of finance.

    The scandal that it took so long for the McCarthy-Snip report and there was no depth to its analysis beyond chop back front line services in the vast majority of cases. there is no analysis of improvement and little locating of waste in the administrative side in particular the outrageous level of high ranking highly paid C.S. such as those in the Oh WOW Dept of Finance.

    Cervical cancer vaccinations for young girls being withdrawn at a cost of €10 million in comparison to what we're paying to bail out banks....scandalous

    Children's rights amendment being postponned again - cos if it was enacted the govt could be held to account too much for our piss-poor health/education/special needs services
