The period covered could run to decades, including periods when the person was in another jurisdiction. And if the person originates in another jurisdiction...<br /><br />The more I think of it the more I reckon Ó Cuiv is possibly being set up. Eamon, if you or one of your political advisors happens across this please give me a shout.

It's very wrong, I know, but I have happy fantasies where I am put in charge of FÁS or the HSE.Conan Drummhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12377667084973491628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6617364317572311350.post-89144395825239191732010-09-01T13:19:06.296+01:002010-09-01T13:19:06.296+01:00Rosie:

Meanwhile, the vulnerable people who are supposed to benefit from the scheme do not receive the care the scheme exists to provide. <br /><br />I hope Eamon Ó Cuiv fires a lot of people in FÁS. If he doesn't his plan is doomed from the outset.Conan Drummhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12377667084973491628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6617364317572311350.post-5007075155493937452010-09-01T11:17:24.337+01:002010-09-01T11:17:24.337+01:00I feel more sorry for the grannys who have to suff...I feel more sorry for the grannys who have to suffer through being cared for by reluctant (and untrained / unvetted) arse-wipersHelennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6617364317572311350.post-31361635877893406242010-09-01T10:26:25.961+01:002010-09-01T10:26:25.961+01:00it's as well i'm not religious.
