    It seems the whole point of him coming on was to comment on what Enda dared to say yesterday....... and then he himself calls the country a dump. Christ Tubridy must be desperate for guests if he has to stoop to a half shot idiot like that for an opinion.

    For the same reason it is infuriating - because the natives do not take reality seriously.

    A history of defeat and failure?

    Or the national narrative that the promised land is just around the corner?

    Why can't the people and the culture deliver tidy government and rational services?

    There probably something in that, but I don't think it is the full story.

    RTE talk show has RTE employee on as a guest.

    Maybe this is the public service efficiency we have all been hearing so much about.

    Gaining independence was a major achievement. Coming from one of the poorest States in the West in the 1920's to a relativly rich State now is an achievement.
