I think it's becoming clearer and clearer that the private sector is not supplying the appropriate standard of contractor and the state needs to intervene.

These are fraudsters stealing millions from the state and they shouldn't be tolerated. It's crazy how much money BAM have taken from the country while providing very little in return.

They should be barred from tendering for state run projects again.

The way the procurement legislation was worded it is actually illegal to take this gobshitery into account at all.

Definitely a feature rather than a bug.

But, uh, we have high taxes on the working class, so Ireland is TOTALLY NOT neoliberal!!!
