They say “All politics is local”, in the past it is how politics in Ireland worked. A politician who worked hard for his constituents was sure to have a long political career. But in recent years this does not seem to be the case in the sense that the “Local Interests” (interest of the Irish citizen) seems to be ignored Local Authorities in favour of Big Business, Developers and International Investors.
