My first and only lasting entre to the world of blogging came via mobhaile.

I essentially was given a username and password …by a senior official at a certain organisation.

I found myself addicted to Blogging as I am a creative old soul…I remember I had over 100 posts …and god knows how may man hours .

I knew no better at the time…… I can’t even access these posts now.What a bloody useless waste of my time … To think 4m went on it !.Christ !!!

€4m on Mobhaile is but ONE example of many that could and should be cited as waste-of-money when it comes to what LGCSB has “managed” over the years

its another day light white collar robbery .

Answer to last post. Nearly all the development was done in house by contractors on effectively indefinite contracts at top contract rates. It was “managed” by LGCSB management which is why they ended up with nothing as they burned through cash with no idea what they were trying to achieve.

The software licensing fees for things like SharePoint and SQL would only have been €100k max, i cant believe over 3m was spent on development!!! Any idea of who was contracted by the LGCSB to do this work!!

Well done in uncovering what must be one of the worst excesses in public spending. Those that are clueless shouldn’t be let near budgets of that size.
