A string of debakles on a printer costing 808 thousand euros this week has left officials fried, writes The Guardian, translates Periscopi.
This caused an investigation to open and the joke began.
After this 2.1m - high and 1.9m wide - car arrived in Ireland in December last month, officials in the legislature learned that it could not be placed inside the building.
They couldn't even get her back because the contract was signed. So he was taken to an industrial area until September, even paying rent for it, while builders broke the walls to create space for the printer's location to thus raise the cost of 236 thousand euros more.
Printer's already installed but it's not working. According to the Irish Times, Legislatura staff are refusing to work with him, saying they received training and a salary increase.
This baseball has launched a major public and political rage and has called for more transparency in the legislature.
This prompted the investigation into the launch of his purchase process.
Critics have said Ireland has chronic inefficiency to carry out projects in time and within the budget. /Periscopi
