The public sector...yes...yes... I know they are not all useless & I have encountered this myself but in my experience, the majority seem to be:
Highly unprofessional, lazy, immature, uncooperative, rude and of below average intelligence.
Most public servants I've encountered have been:
highly professional, career minded, hard working, mature, mannerly and highly intelligent.
I'm from Roscommon and was chatting to someone today and mentioned that fact, and they said to me "oh I used to work with a girl from Longford, you might know her". WTF?? It's not even in Connacht, just happens to border part of our county.
Not pointing the finger or anything but a mate I worked with in Dublin started in his position and was asked where he was from. "Roscommon", he proudly replies. "Oh", said his (dub) co-worker, "Is that in County Athlone?" This was said earnestly, seriously and with no sarcasm !!!
People, learn your Irish geography!!
Edit: This was also in the Public 'Service' !!
Whats the point of the whole "lime with my Corona" thing anyway? Wasn't the purpose of that supposed to be to stop insects getting into your beer when in Mexico?!
My mother in law refuses to believe that she has been to Ulster when she returns to visit her family home in County Cavan. And she doesn't like "Northerners".That is truly shocking.
Yeah.BTW becuase I am a "techie" I would always consider my own spelling and grammar to be a little lacking but at least I try !
