		<description>Notwithstanding the lack of final numbers, the provisional Total amounts to €11,080,000 + OR - !!!!
One-way money; Waste; Valueless.
Even less value when you consider the price to return Bertie (Rating 1.38%) and one then has to ask

&quot;Who has stumped up all this loot?&quot;

&quot;And what do they expect in return?&quot;

Surely not the present chaotic, bloated Administration, attempting to pay itself even more outrageous sums for what, annually, barely amounts to about 50 days work - on matters of State...
... the rest goes on FF Party work. 

And, if it is not an efficient; competent; slimmed down Government...
... It can only be for FAVOURS!

Time to take a gulp of reality; stand back and ask some pertinent questions.

€11 million would go a long way to solving the infrastructural problems that are strangling our ability to compete in an ever more competitive Global Market.

It would pay for a Water Desalination Plant - which will become a vital necessity sooner than later.

And I am sure there are many business men out there who could find a value-added enterprise for €11 million - an enterprise that would, perhaps, give new employment, leading to increased prosperity and an additional source of income tax... 

...to pay for the expensive social programmes demanded by Bertie Ahern and his newest &quot;friends&quot; in the Poverty Party &amp; the Trade Unions.</description>
