Contributing sentiments towards policy:

59% : It has often been the way of Irish politics and public administration that those with the loudest voices, or with proximity to power, wheedle for themselves the greatest share of resources.
46% : Expect to see a lot of public sector unions, trade organisations, farmers, business groups and other special interests in the coming weeks.
