Whilst the Politicians , Developers and Bankers have taken the flack for the awful management of our economy during the last decade there is little or no focus on the inactivity and incompetence of the senior civil servants who basically went missing and failed to call a halt to the property boom ,easy credit climate and bloated public service.

They are the permanent government and they more than most have let the country down.
 
This is the world of Civil service. Nobody can be sacked or held accountable.
 
How about the consultant economic advisors.

There are professionally paid consultants whose job it is to look at the macro economy and say stuff like 'Why would you pay €400m for a field on which to build apartments when we have hundreds of thousands of vacant newly built ones?'

Or how about our economic/business journalists?
