Surely you mean Government Buildings, in particular the Dept of Finance. The Oireachtas is only there to distract us from the mandarins who really rule us. Bertie is doing an excellent job as a Zaphod Beeblebrox substitute.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('3881','aonghus'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> Leinster House?

Over use of and over emphasis on OO programming for one.

The disease is the elevation by influential people of poorly understood buzz words to dogmas which are assumed to be silver bullets for problems we wouldn’t have if we kept it simple in the first place.</rant>

Homo Cogitans is a rare, and possibly apocryphal species. Homo Sapiens frequently doesn’t.

Probably because I'm better at it that I am coding. I get bored too easily with the latter. Medbh - To hell with the committee, but I hope Mr. M. appreciated it. I am probably hanging myself, but I will not be giving credit to lecturers where it is not due.
