Good governance isn't sexy, its doing the basics right, picking the stuff that works. Good systems for administration, good research and development, simple implementation processes, asking the people who know/are affected what could be done, its not hard. Its just hard to tell governments.

What nonsense from the IT. So we'd rather have fastway and bogus self employment or An Post with staff who have actual contracts and benefits. Id suggest fastway was never well run in the beginning and An Post is at least of benefit to the state
