Government to give €46,000 to the Consumers Association of Ireland

CAI in Sunday Times again today. They have called in the gardai to find out who is hacking into their system and putting up fake 'likes' and twitter followers.

"Hacking"? Do the CAI know what they are talking about? You don't hack additional followers, you purchase them. Someone purchased these followers.

Also, is this really a matter for the Gardai?

The DoF should clearly be able to see that the taxpayers money used by the CAI for social media consumer information has been a failure
 
Is this a matter for the PAC?

What are the renumeration and pension arrangements for the CAI executives?
 
I don't think it's a matter for the Gardai or for the PAC.

The amounts are too small.

The remuneration for Dermot Jewell is not disclosed in the accounts.

The CAI is a secret organisation like the freemasons. The govt has no business giving them public monies to further their ends.

Brilliant. It conjures up the picture of Enda Kenny from the intro of Irish Pictorial Weekly flying round town with his big hand sticking out.

I don't know if that is a fair comparison. When I went to the AGM last year, none of them would shake hands with me. Which I thought was odd,because they seem desperate for friends.

I understand there weren't many there anyway so it wouldn't have taken long for them to have shaken your hand! Wasn't that the AGM that had no quorum with you the only member there?

I agree with you the Facebook likes/twitter followers issue is a waste of gardai time. But I wonder if they have actually made the complaint to the gardai, or just told the Sunday Times they did - I say this because judging from the 3000 Ulster bank complaints story the CAI can be economical with the truth.
