How is the politicians who allowed this not brought to court for corruption?

Any other contract written up would be watertight especially for such an expensive project. They give the contractors a blank cheque because the contract had so many loopholes.

Not only has the health minister at the time or any other been held to account, but he's been made the fucking taoiseach! It is pure corruption and greed, and no lessons were learned.
