Just How Corrupt Is Ireland?

[odie1kanobe]

You are perhaps confusing myself with another poster, no longer with us, with whom you fenced quite regularly, am sure if you check with DC he will enlighten you or at least try, thickness is a much prized virtue in your ranks.

You made allegation after allegation on this thread and proved ZILCH
http://www.politics.ie/current-affai...-but-what.html

IF you think the law doesn't apply on allegations made on here which are false then have a read of the latest postings by Kerry North......you know the person who had to justify themselves in allegations regarding people in Kerry.

Always the same Odie lots of little threats and making out you are close to DC and the Mods, its a form of bullying with you, its in the blood all little FF'ers do it.

As for the Law, we will jump that fence when and if it comes, at the moment though it is very much the flat season.

Corruption is commonly perceived as the preserve of politicians and legislative/governing bodies. This certainly has been the case here.

Perhaps the assertion that Britain is more corrupt than here is an extrapolation of the numbers involved in these areas?

I would actually suggest that we are not a corrupt race per se. I have not heard of any guards being bribed not to give summonses recently. Rather, we have elected, appointed and tolerated political corruption for years and there are still people who will, come election time, give their No. 1s to members of the same clans and parties steeped in the practice. And proven incapable of governing as well.

More an incompetent electorate than a corrupt race.

I worked with Italian engineers who travelled all over Europe setting up machines and plants and they said that by far that Ireland was the most corrupt country they have worked in and this was after setting up a plant in former soviet republic.

Sure you have to be in with a politician to get your entitlements , to get your kids into a school , to stop 'undesireables' moving in next door . Of course we are bloddy corrupt .

Nope as don't know DC or any Mods and never claimed to either.

You otoh hand wouldn't repeat what you say on here in Public with your allegations without a single shred proof.

Do people here still go with the "if we can't be the best, or good at, something, we'll be the worst at it"?
We aren't the best, we aren't the worst, we're actually a pretty clean State, but not an exciting one.

Really, Troll? Pray tell what "plants" did they set up?

I would tend to respect the opinion of Italians..... after all they really, REALLY should be experts when it comes to corruption...

I think we're still at the stage of rejecting any new data in favour of old axioms. Libero is making sense, though.
