The xitter comments gave me cancer
The crusties will be the first to complain when the lights go out.

Now shut up and pay more for your fuel.
It works that way because of lads like you on the CS payroll doing a half day of actual work every day. There is also a serious lack of ability in the CS as politics is far more important than ability at the upper levels.. so when any intense, skilled work is required it cannot be carried out in house in a lot of departments, hence the likes of Deloitte charging a premium as they knew the govt had no choice"Government paid €7.6m to Deloitte"
That's how Ireland works. Deloitte, PwC, etc all getting handy bobs for consultancy work when the Ministers already have Civil Servants and other highly paid advisors (think Eamon Ryan had ten or twelve of them)
The Govt. has to get this work done as the Civil Service is simply not capable or motivated to do anything and even if they tried it would take forever. Contractors have to be brought in or else the State would simply not function.It works that way because of lads like you on the CS payroll doing a half day of actual work every day.

"Minister for Integration Roderic O’Gorman said the contract with Deloitte was initially aimed at assisting with the delivery of his department’s humanitarian response to the war in Ukraine, “at rapid pace and scale, in a resource-constrained environment”.
ie. we dont have the people in house with the expertise or work ethic to actually have done this ourselves, so we bent over and took one for Ukraine

They have to hire in professional services all the time from engineers to architects etc as they simply cannot do the work themselves. About 16 of the public servants just show up for the meetings, waste everybodys time while all the hired pros just get on with it.Your ignorance of my duties and work times aside, even if the Civil Service (I'm not a Civil Servant btw) is as bad as you claim, why the need for the likes of Ryan to have a dozen or so highly paid Special Advisors as well as getting in Deloitte PwC etc etc. It's a scandallous waste of money.
Even 10 Special Advisors on 100K per annum for his term in office is 5M euro that could be better spent elsewhere if at the end of the day they're only going to get in Deloitte for 7+ M anyway
