You really need to construct a thread title that indicates what you are on about.

I am on about FIAANA FAIL,the Government of Ireland,google it here:

        
Government close to scrapping 7,500 unused electronic voting machines
7,500 electronic voting machines which cost €50 million to purchase and €650,000 to store between 2004 and 2007 may be scrapped.theyhave now been scrapped.
thats 50 million plus,that could have been used for theIrish health service,or other needs

My first thought was nappies/diapers, too. Does that mean that Bill D and I are getting to that age?

So, anyhow, I added to the thread title so people will know what it's about.

But at least this picture in today's Guardian (printed as a two-page centre-spread) offers hope that not all is lost in the mechanism of Irish elections.
