the crunch question

Question: Is there any point to Ireland having a wimminy police chief (Noirin O'Sullivan an "insider" appointed from within the ranks of the corrupt Irish Police Force after our government promised to appoint an "outsider" specifically from outside the ranks of our corrupt Police Force) a woman whose solution to the gangland terrorisation of towns and villages across Ireland is to say: "We recognise there is a fear of crime," and whose solution to the endemic corruption among precinct chiefs in the Irish police force is to move those corrupt precinct chiefs sideways into adjoining precincts, and whose solution to the IRA's establishment of itself as the capo di tutti capi of mafias in Ireland is to say: "I'm not sure if the IRA still exists?"

Answer: Well she probably puts IRA mafiosi and corrupt police officers at their ease. But for the rest of us, no, there's no point to her. She's just a bad joke at the end of Irish democracy.
