    From the Irish Times
    “Lord Mayor of Dublin Christy Burke, who was at the scene, said he wanted to congratulate the community, in particular the young man who had saved one of the children from the burning house.
    “Six people are in hospital. They are not seriously ill, thank God, but the main thing is that the three families here have to be housed.”
    Mr Burke said he had been in contact with the city manager to ask that he do what he could to make life comfortable for them.”
    I hate to think how much that will cost you ratepayers over there.
    They’ll be twice as much spent in administration costs and meetings than will actually be spent on housing these three families.
    Imagine if it was all done on the internet by us the people, at home, with no pageants and meetings or impressive buildings.
    Imagine if it was just a job.
    Like any other job.
    You don’t get all that pageantry when you run a factory so why should you have it when you run a town or a city. (But now that I think of it; back in the old days they were so rich that they paid for it out of their own pockets and that’s how all the pageantry came about.)
    Cheaper nowadays to hire actors and give them fish suppers after and 50 beer tokens on the side while you the council gets on with the job.
    It only starts to cost money when Politics gets involved.
