Will it do anything? Is there the political will to actually formulate new, original plans and then see them through? Will the same civil service that allowed for massive expense accounts actually have the conviction and the desire to make changes to their work culture, or will it be business as usual? Can you expect a systemic change in the way things are done in Ireland when the same faces helm the rudders? Are these events concrete or are they weather shields to allow the crew to weather the storm? Am I adrift in a sea of nautical metaphors?
