Description

Why is Ireland spending more than ever, but delivering less?

From €1 million bike sheds to €14 billion windfalls, this episode uncovers how bloated middle management, broken systems, and toothless accountability are dragging the country into a slow-motion collapse.

We follow the money, trace the dysfunction, and propose a radical reboot: a leaner, smarter civil sector where local government is empowered, technology drives transparency, and frontline workers are finally respected.

👉 Featuring real-world scandals, sharp satire, and a vision for the future.
