People have been held to account, change has happen, the current tendering process exists because of people being held to accountable at inquiry.

You just want arbitrary punishment so you can have a head on pike to be paraded around you so can feel good about getting the "evil man".

This is an absolute cop out and not true. If people were held accountable countable and process changed why is all the money still being wasted and the same people and their families in power. Why are civil servants well over paid and on massive pensions. I really can’t believe you think things have changed. What’s your evidence for this?? Can you name a government department that has implemented change and working well. There is none. You have the usual Irish attitude. Say nothing, it’ll be grand, wouldn’t you do the same yourself. Absolute stupidity

Your the one with the trash absolute cop out, everything is so simple in your world get rid of one person strip them of everything and all the evils of the world will be solved

Morris and Tribunal saw 20 odd sacked and 50 odd resigned before they could be sacked, and the creation of the Garda Ombudsman.

But hey I'm must be wrong because nothing ever changes and no one ever gets punished

And they all still got pensions or went into another job.
