So its moaning to expect the councils to maintain the roads and perform the work they are paid to do? Its easier to please people than you would think and all it takes is some common sense when it comes to working within your budgets and performing works when it impacts people the least.

What annoys people is the work is done at the last possible second to ensure that a council manager doesnt have to work off a different budget the following year. God forbid they would actually try and work with the public in mind rather than half assing a load of roadworks at the worst possible time of the year for all concerned.

Its moaning when you give out about the fact roadworks are ongoing when you have been moaning about the bad state of the roads all year. And when do you propose they do these roadworks I mean what time of the year would disrupt people less?

And say the Local Authority is given funding of €1m in December would you prefer they say no we dont want it as people will get annoyed if we do the work now so take it back. Or would you prefer the road to get fixed?

The bottom line is that the only time the CC need us(the taxpayer) is every 4 years....and in between that its all about looking after the boys on their €30k+ pa(+expenses!!) in their part time jobs.

the minute councillors got a wage, then everyone else in the system wanted more pay
