We have a Taoiseach ( prime minister ) and a Dail and a Seanad and a European parliament : do we really need the office of President as well?
We are a small country with a small population of taxpayers. I read somewhere it costs something like seven million euro a year to run the Presidents office. I suppose this covers her salary (€ 220g plus I think ? ) , her staff and expenses, her clothes and hairdos. I know many people have been looking at the cutbacks in the health service, and seeing old people on hospital trollies. Not to mention people sleeping rough etc.
Do other larger countries like France and Germany have a President as well as a Prime Minister ?
