If the Gov sat down and really looked at where money is being used foolishly I think they would not only make savings but also get a lot of plaudits from the public.
OK so the savings may not be massive, but its the principle of the thing and if Joe Public seen little things being cut that are not really necessary then it might ease the pain a bit.
One thing that comes into my head is the car/driver and security for likes of Bertie. All this "I used to be Taoiseach so need my perks" nonsense. Let him drive himself around. And lets be honest, its hardly as if his life is under threat to warrant full time security.
Anyone else any simple ideas that might please the public?
