Enda Kenny sending a constituent's CV to head of Revenue Commissioners

Certainly, that is what they do best.

That attitude is the root cause of our political, and therefore economic, woes.
The problem in this country is the electorate, not the politicians as they are a reflection of the people.
 
I used to work in a Government Dept and we used to get TDs forwarding us letters and applications for all kinds of things. Believe me, the fact that a TD had made any kind of representations on a constituents behalf made absolutely no difference whatsoever. The rep was never even seen by senior officials or the Minister and just received a standard response while the application or whatever went through exactly the same process as that from Joe Soap with no TD to lobby on his behalf.

Seriously, Civil Service offices receive hundreds of reps every week and would never even think of bending rules or skipping people up a queue as a result. They're just acknowledged and then it's on with business as normal.

Do you work there? Sometimes TDs take credit for things that would have happened anyway, without their intervention.

Politicians taking credit for things they didn't do!? I find that hard to believe
