Dear Editor,
Ireland has between 33,000 and 34,000 registered Non-Governmental Bodies or charities, mostly funded by the Government in one way or another. Along with this, we have a Housing Crisis, despite billions of euros being poured into Social Housing through 438 Registered Approved Housing Bodies and the expensive HAP (Housing Accommodation Scheme).

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. Central Funds are only released following the various EU Directives and Regulations coming from the “EU” and Climate Change which at most times do not make sense from an Irish perspective socially or financially.
