Citizens of Ireland,
I am writing this article due to many requests sent at our address. We are facing perilous times, perilous times for the entire eWorld, but let’s not forget about this small island called Ireland , for it faces as many troubles on the inside as it does on the outside. Can’t follow? Don’t know what I’m on about? Well, allow me to guide you through it, step by step…starting off at the beginning of what was supposedly going to be a term of ‘change’.
1. The Cabinet?
Promising a full turnaround of the government, Starks Hayter and compatriots had much to live up to. First thing a new government does when taking office, is establishing their cabinet. The first disappointment arrived early, as the so called beacons of ‘change’ managed to copy the EXACT SAME cabinet structure as used by the previous legislation. They might argue that the structure was a good piece of work, however, if so they shouldn’t have built a campaign based on Change! if they arenot up to the taskand are incapable of coming up with a better system.
2. Smells like Partisan Pie!
If we take a look at the Cabinet, you might think ‘oh, this looks very diverse with many different viewpoints’. It does look like that doesn’t it? However, when we take a closer look, or if you have a trained eye, you will notice that ALL the positions of real importance (no offense to the Minister of Information and Community) have ALL been awarded to ISRP members, whom not all are that prominent if I may add. Junior Ministers and Deputies hold little real political power and can pretty much be seen as glorified secretaries unless they have a person with real leadership and mentoring capabilities above them, which in this case they do not, making them somewhat irrelevant. This is, by far, the MOST PARTISAN government that new – age Ireland has ever seen! Let’s look at the facts: They are about 190 IUP members, 115 ISRP, 65 IFP, 50 IF, 30 FF and so on. The ISRP accounts for less then 25% of Irish party membership yet the ISRP got 50% of all cabinet jobs. Let’s exclude the Deputies and Juniors, the ISRP control 5 Ministries, the IUP control 2... Last month it was 4 IUP, 2 ISRP (bear in mind the IUP had almost twice as much members than the ISRP) and 1 Theus. The month before that it was 3 IUP, 3 ISRP and 1 IF. They called us partisan and promised you the eIrish voters, change? They lied!
3. Intelligence?
Now I was under the impression, that in order for an Intelligence Agency to be successful, they had to be able to go about unseen, not kicking up too many dust and avoiding attention, in order to get their hands at more sensitive and in – depth information, that a normal recognisable person would not be able to get without arousing suspicion. This was a great idea, preached again by the people of ‘change’ if this idea wasn’t ALREADY implemented many legislations back and was STILL in effect. The people running this agency however have never been disclosed and will never be disclosed in order for them to retain their public status. My question is, what point is there in making our Intelligence Agency publicly known (certainly not to improve our international standing…), even adding in the names of the ones responsible? Either you wish to sign their death sentence or you wish for the Ministry to go inactive (which it may already have) and had only thrown it in there to make it look like you are innovative. What is the point of this ministry? It certainly isn’t gathering any intelligence and its ‘functions’ could be easily carried out by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (provided it has an active MoFA…)
4. 10 000 IEP for deskchairs?!
Another issue the current Cabinet has problems with. Overstaffing (a problem our esteemed President himself expressed concerns about but went ahead with it anyway). For example, is it really necessary to have 5 people working on Finance? Even with 5 people, they manage to deliver a worse job compared to past legislations. This little detail I will elaborate in a point that you can find a bit further in this article. Nearly every Ministry has 3 people working in it, not all are all that active or don’t even have an actual job to do, other than getting their name in the Cabinet release . It worked fine in the past, why did they feel the need to add more people? Perhaps more people meant more possible voters, a possible better image to the newer people in eRepublik, not knowing how the actual political system Works. All that there is left to say is that, quantity does not equal quality, as obviously demonstrated by the LACK of adequate functioning most of the current Ministries have.
5. A MoFA on a lawnchair with a Cuban cigar?
Where’s the current MoFA, Kiemar? We have yet to see any real activity coming from the Foreign Affairs department. An argument the people of ‘change’ used to criticise the previous government with was, the so – called deterioration in foreign relations. A grand mistake, made apparent by the very close and intense relations displayed between Ireland and the USA and later on, between Ireland and the UK. What still remains of these bonds? The USA is under threat and DID NOT include us in their list of allies anymore. This is a serious lapse in standing, compared to the Nith government, where we were held in high regard by all our neighbours. This decay can be blamed on a set amount of people, achieved trough inactivity and / or plain lazyness. As they say the same about love, relationships require work and time to be invested and simply can not be taken for granted, something the current Ministry certainly has done. As a reward for this, Ireland is out there on it’s own with the eWorld at war. Bravo.
6. Meritocracy? HAH!
One of the big promises made by the current government. They will decide if you are ‘worthy’ of a cabinet positions depending on merit. But what is merit? Does the concept of what real merit is not vary from person to person? This is quite obviously so, as according to Starks Hayter, the ONLY people with merit and thus worthy of a REAL minister position, are members of the ISRP. Lower positions have been awarded to other parties to keep them quiet, but they should have known better than to play down some of the outstanding politicians other party’s posses. We also have serious doubts about the level of ‘merit’ of some of the appointed people, as they have yet to prove themselves to us. We are wondering how Starks Hayter reaches such a level of understanding on how newbies think and work and establish that they are suited for cabinet work.
7. Where’s our Pot ‘O Gold?
Recently one of our more observant citizens noticed an amount of no less than 40 Gold disappear out of our national bank, Banc Ceannais’ accounts. The set amount was donated to, take a guess, another ISRP member that wasn’t born too long ago. This citizen donated the 40 Gold to a PRIVATE organisation, in order to apparently establish a Moving Ticket Company. Such a proposal can be found on the Irish Forum, yes, but nothing has been said about Ireland providing a private contractor with such a large sum of gold, WITHOUT ANY certainty that this company will remain in Irish hands, or for another matter, will be effective. In our opinion, this is a serious mistake made by the government, in allowing YOUR TAX PAYERS MONEY to be sent anywhere they please, without consulting even Congress about this matter. It’s no less than an outrage that a politician (with guerilla roots, surprisingly?) is allowed to go about with these actions and go unsanctioned. No more! So where is the esteemed minister these days? Didn’t he have some plans to turn Ireland from socialist to communist??? Did he realize his plans simply wouldn’t work or is he in hiding after this ‘slip up’?
8. Spiderwebs have overtaken the Presidential Chair!
How so? How can they? The answer is simple, our President is MISSING! President Starks Hayter of the ISRP has not been spotted for several days (he said he would only be gone Saturday…), failing to make public appearances andfailing to respond to his cabinet members! This is not only a grave infringement on the role of President, it is also extremely dangerous for the likes of Ireland in these times. As previously stated, the entire eWorld is going to war, and our island floats in the middle of it. Thanks to both our President and our MoFA being inactive, we are left without any allies. What we have gained are enemies at our borders, encroaching upon us under the false pretense of ‘games’. Any adequate politician is able to see that this is just a diversion and may prove hostile to Ireland in a short matter of time. However, thanks to Ireland having no real active government, nothing has been done about it. An inactive President is something that NO NATION can have and certainly not Ireland, not in these times. Presidents have been impeached for far less, as an inactive President is a useless President.
This is a complete outrage, that someone in his position is allowed to bring shame over Ireland, the once proud and established nation, now left alone to deteriorate. I pitty the voters who have voted for this man, but it’s not too late. If needed, call your congressman and have him press the necessary button, for the sake of Ireland, we have to do something about it!
9. The IDF? Where?
Where, indeed. Aran Tal has taken the position of Minister of Defence and has performed BELOW par. He has only made one good decision, which was pleading (begging?) to Ireland’s most established female soldier, capable of leading troops, Grainne Ni Mhaille to come and help him. So far, she has organised the entire IDF on her own, while communicating with other military leaders abroad, something the MoD, MoFA and President should be doing. However, since none of those 3 are capable of leading a nation and have an activity rate about as high as a 90 year old with arthritis, the poor Chief of Staff was left alone with this humongous job. She has done everything in her power, she is only 1 person and is to be commended for that. But this isn’t really what we are on about, now is it? What we really want to talk about is, why again does an ISRP member fail to prove his worth in a demanding and vital position? Why do they think they can use Ireland as their personal retirement fund while running the country, that so many of us love and have worked hard for, into the ground? Will we allow this inadequacy any longer? I’m nearly sorry to say this, but if you are not up to the task, resign and have someone better take over, since you are clearly incapable.
So much for the real agenda points..
Now that you have read the many problems Ireland is facing, caused by the disastrous government Starks Hayter of the ISRP has provided us with, the ball is in the people’s camp. Shall we let this band of pretenders, promisers and actors continue destroying Ireland? Or do we do something about it? The people are the ONLY real power in Ireland, ergo, WE are the ones that need to say ENOUGH is ENOUGH and reach back to a government that is capable of handling dangerous times and may still save something of Ireland, now that we still have something to call Ireland. I will not be silenced, although the ISRP has already attempted stopped a citizen from making an article like this to protect their inadequate President, the citizens of Ireland have the RIGHT to know.I hope that the people who have voted for Starks now see that not everything is what it seems, until a certain reporter decides to hold his tongue no longer and rattle the cage, hoping to wake up the government or even better, wake up the people and -to use the famous words, many of you may recognise them by now- CALL FOR CHANGE!!
P.S.: Many thanks to the people who helped greatly in writing this article. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did when working together with you.

Hear hear!
Well how are FA inactive Kiemar + Bryan are on the IRC and the forums.... they are working hard to get MPP's. Actually Starks just came back today so you should be careful 😛
A "certain reporter" ? Or, the president of a rival political party whose only goal listed so far seems to be "to be radical!"?
Oh no, there is certainly no politically motivated grandstanding going on here! No sir!
(Aint politics wonderful?)
The new age of Politics in eIreland is finally here.
First of all this reads like an ICF articles of old.
I may be a Deputy in the overcrowded MoFI but I'm running the state companies and transfering funds to Banc Ceannais and looking at how much tax we take in on a daily basis so we can have some sort of a budget, so am I not doing my job?
Anyone one of us can go inactive for a few days I beleive only recently tou were gone 2 weeks (through no fault of your own I might add) but It's what you do
Now to be honest the amount of change I have seen so far has not been to my satifaction either but we are only 9 days into the presidential term so give him a chance if nothing of merit is done by Congress Elections then it's the time to complain.
Fair points here.
"Well how are FA inactive Kiemar + Bryan are on the IRC and the forums.... they are working hard to get MPP's. Actually Starks just came back today so you should be careful 😛" Working hard to get MPPs with US, UK and Spain haha That will amonth to nothing (let's pray it does anyway). There has been no announcements to the public and no real action! Enough of this we are talking lark. The eIrish public deserve to be in the know and deserve politicians who are actually working not sitting around talking up absurd proposals...
"First of all this reads like an ICF articles of old." It is provoking the only difference being this article actually speaks the truth.
" may be a Deputy in the overcrowded MoFI but I'm running the state companies and transfering funds to Banc Ceannais and looking at how much tax we take in on a daily basis so we can have some sort of a budget, so am I not doing my job?" Looking lol That's actually what many in the cabinet are telling me... I never said you wern't working Pip.
"Anyone one of us can go inactive for a few days I beleive only recently tou were gone 2 weeks (through no fault of your own I might add) but It's what you do" I wasn't President of the Country! If I were I would had resigned. The President has a lot to do (like I said the role shouldn't be taken lightly) and three days is an absurd absense.
"Now to be honest the amount of change I have seen so far has not been to my satifaction either but we are only 9 days into the presidential term so give him a chance if nothing of merit is done by Congress Elections then it's the time to complain." Are you suggesting the eIrish public put up with a bad administration for another 10 days? The government should always be scrutinized, it's a key element of democracy. I don't think we should wait until 66% of the term is up to start complaining.
ah Sev, this isn't like you, instead of telling us how great the IRP is and how you would like to change things your going to tell us where its all going wrong presently, undermining all the competition and pointing out everyone's weaknesses. no ones perfect and getting large administrations to run smoothly takes time and little bit of fine tuning here and there . If Ireland's health is in your best interests the publish articles that would help the current leadership rather than plainly mocking them. Stop proving how they are the wrong choice and focus on proving why you are the right choice.
this is just a strong opinion of mine is all.
I have more respect for you than anybody in this game when it comes to politics.
Your still my very dear friend no matter what
-Elementor 😉
Well said Sev. If our absent President isn't going to fulfil his role, lets impeach and bring in someone responsible who WILL do the job properly.
War games have disappeared also.. how long does it take for you to scratch that ass of yours? Get back on the job.
Sev, point out one article Eamon made in his terms that informed the public about foreign affairs.
"War games have disappeared also.. how long does it take for you to scratch that ass of yours? Get back on the job."
Pay attention and learn something before posting a comment like this.
Wargames aren't taking place because the US is preparing for war from PEACE.
To start wargames could be bad for them(people using all their fights early and PEACE attacking late in the day) so they aren't sending money to start the games until the PEACE threat is gone.
Nothing Starks can do about it.But thanks for the research in advance of your comment.
The plans for Foreign will be annouced soon enough it's still being discussed in the cabinet.
"Are you suggesting the eIrish public put up with a bad administration for another 10 days? The government should always be scrutinized, it's a key element of democracy. I don't think we should wait until 66% of the term is up to start complaining."
I'm suggesting that you vote someone else in at Congress Elections if nothing done that's how democracy works
"It is provoking the only difference being this article actually speaks the truth."
I'm not saying your not speaking the truth but you put in such a sensationalist way (that personally annoys me) just like the ICF did.
I do have to agree with the fail with an intelligence agency...
Kiemar seems far more active than you think.
I'd suspend my judgement until the term of the mandate, before starting to bash.
I'd say we are going into momentous times and i am confident this government can navigate us much better than those of the past.
It is my opinion, but i'll only judge by the results.
So far, I'd say, nothing in the gov's actions has caused any anger nearly similar to that of the "false war"
🙂

@ Elementor True, this is not like me but it was high time someone pointed out the failures of this administration and how promises of change were infact just lies. Help them? I can't help the inactive lol Rest ashore, I will be publishing another IRP soon and the crusade will continue (real change will come in due time).
@Darragh http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/from-the-desk-of-the-mofa-797381/1/20" target="_blank">http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/from[..]1/20
@Pip My vote in a Congress election won't bring about change in an administration... The best I can do now is point out where I think they are going wrong and hope they will pull up their socks. I'm sorry I annoyed you (unfortunatly it would seem my provoking articles are the ones that get the most attention). Remember my old articles with only like 4 or 5 votes... Mild mannered Severin...
@ Rollo "Kiemar seems far more active than you think" Yea apartently they are talks of us going to war with PEACE alongside the US 🙂Should do wonders for our security...
"I'd suspend my judgement until the term of the mandate, before starting to bash." I'd rather not sit back and let them do as little as they want for a month.
A lot of votes of disatisfaction will though.
Your articles allows got good reponses and votes I know this as I have been subscribed to the paper for as long as I can remember mild mannered Severin rationally explained his views without USING BOLD TO MAKE A POINT I liked that a hell of a lot better.
Severin, you have absolutely no idea of the work the Foreign Affairs department has been doing. Ask Grainne, she will confirm the work I have done since the whole Hungarian situation came upon us last thursday night. True, Kiemar is not hugely active but he is living in america so it is difficult for him to be online when we are all online, but I assure you severin, the FA department has done more work since thursday night than we got done in the whole of the previous term. Also, I can assure you with 100% certainty that Ireland will not be attacked by hungary. Also, kiemar and I are working on improving our relations with america and also Spain, who have even offered us financial support.
The reason why we chose to not inform the people of the hungarian situation is because it would cause unneccesary panic when we have nothing to fear from them.
What you have just wrote about the FA department is a rancid load of rubbish, with no facts. How dare you imply that I am a glorified secretary and irrelevant, I practically run FA.
I HAD repect for you severin, but this has outraged me, you have personally insulted me, and misled the people to believe that the FA department is doing nothing, when, thanks to kiemar and I, our borders are now secure. I want an apology.
Severin, that 40 gold is secured by my own gold, AND we have seen an increase in our gold reserves due to the currency adjustment campaign...
impeach impeach impeach
"Sev, point out one article Eamon made in his terms that informed the public about foreign affairs."
Actually I did put my own news in my personal newspaper as well as give to each and every article the Ministry of Information put out to the eIrish people. And I will say that Bryan O'Shea has done a lot of good work for the MoFA but where is the MoFA?
I just don't have time for this now lads, and neither should ye, perhaps, depending on your current responsibilities to the nation.
ATTENTION PEOPLE OF IRELAND
Mr President, I see your office lights are on, and I beg an immediate audience, respectfully, Sir.
AT*, read up, and call me Sir.
TG / Darky, to me, asap.
Mr O'Shea, please PM me to continue our work in FA
Any CO whom hasn't reported to me yet, get your sorry ass to my PM box. NOW. And watch my shouts.
Any citizen of the IDF go immediately to your barrack forum and sign in.
IF I SEE A SINGLE DETAIL OF YOUR PREPAREDNESS POSTED I WILL EAT YOUR C.O. FOR BREAKFAST.
And, that wouldn't be healthy for a vegetarian, so silence, please, just a "present" will do.
All future military orders will be PM only, no public domain.
Every other citizen, please remain calm and attend to your family and health. WE ARE NOT AT WAR.
This is a military high alert, and does not concern you at all.
I hope it remains that way.
Dismissed.
Colonel Ni Mhaille
IDF Chief of Staff.
@Grainne,
No we certainly dont have time for this rubbish. I had hoped IRP would not be another ICF but you appear to have sunk to their level severin.
looooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
Name me one thing that Nith did in his terms that wasn't clicking the attack button whenever he got a message from scrabman
Erm, this isn't about me Collins, I'm happy to see your lingering intrest in me and I thank you for that, but it's irrelevant here 😉
No, the vice-President from your government hypocritically attacking the new President early in the term isn't relevant at all.
My mistake.
Oh, and can you answer the question?
Sure, a mere example, you got your so preciously wanted Q5 hospital and that's just on the top of my head 😉
Vice President, now not even being in the same party anymore, didn't you see? I guess you didn't since you meddle a lot in Irish affairs though you're never actually IN Ireland 🙂 How goes it in the UK by the way?
Respected Gentlemen Elders of the Nation, former Mr Presidents.. Please, have you nothing better to do, Sirs??
I've plenty to keep you occupied, if you are bored. Call me.
"I had hoped IRP would not be another ICF but you appear to have sunk to their level"
@Bryan, you got mail. Its not ticking. But it is hot. I am proud to be IRP, but my badge will not interfere with the running of this army. It never did, and it never will.
Slugfest, anyone?
Please. Some good points have been made, and harsh things said, but lets not start drawing the kitchen knives. Lest we make a complete and utter embarrassment of ourselves.
Thank you for such an informative article Sev. These failures need to be addressed immediately. Those of you who have been mentioned in this article need to take a real long hard look at what is being said. 'How can you stand next to the truth and not see it'
Stop the naval gazing and partisan politics, this article is not what is needed when ww3 is kicking off, get behind our leader - bad form Severin, are you trying to divide the country? Lets go have some fun.. I for one think we should start another wargame in Rhode island whether they like it or not 😉
@ Sev: the Deputy MoI (me!) was on vacation so the State Companies were not running at full force. I assure you that by the morning they will be running as well as they have for the last 3 terms I have managed them. Also, before you point more fingers, the other 4 members are working on projects to further expand the Banc's ability to stabilize and grow the eIrish economy.
I've been running them for you Applelmen 😉
FOCUS PEOPLE,
feel that breath on the back of your neck?
it ain't mine
Brian Boru - So you think you can take gold out of Banc Ceannais at will ? You didnt ask permission of congress. Where is ISRP's supposed transparency.
Kick Ass article Severin
Keep focused ppl..... believe me I would love to debate these issues as much as any citizen but there's big changes in the international scene that need to be monitered.
Ah feck it it's too hard..... all I'll say is that one of Sevs criticisms is that we aren't on some unidentified unofficial list of allies of eUSA.... yet he later says in a comment that defending america from attack would be suicide.
(in the current context there is no eUSA invasion of PEACE contries so this must be what he means)
Sev is bored and looking for votes (on articles) to make himself feel popular and loved.... which we all do 🙂 Now is not the time however!!!¬ *angry face* /rant
@Sean Power : I agree fully Sev is just trying to be popular in the media.
@Patton : you still havnt learnt to read its Brian's Gold and its a loan cant citizen not take a loan ?
Holy Mother of God....can we have a bit of a reality check here...The Hungarians.......The Hungarians.......The Hungarians....The IDF got me out of bed for two "Stand To's" last night....Mrs Tayto is frigging RAGEING as the cows have stopped milking because of Grainne,s low flying jets and the Kids toy room is now full of GUNS....and then to top it "OFF" I have a CO who orders me to prepare a lecture on the use of URINAL CAKES for the troops.....WELL FECK THIS....*Tayto Gone into HOT Mode and drops a couple of URINAL CAKES into the conference Cookie Jar* after which Tayto start reading “HUNGARIAN FOR DUMMIES”
"@Patton : you still havnt learnt to read its Brian's Gold and its a loan cant citizen not take a loan ?"
Citizen shouldn't be able to take loans from the government.
facepalm.
that is all.
I think 62 votes speaks for itself... For the record I don't take back anything I said 🙂
Give him a chance
@Severin
67 at the moment
Well said Sever... If you're going to assign as president, you should be prepared for a full term of activeness... or the job should be given to someone else...
Severin, your opinion has been devalued so much, I'll only respond to it in future by highlighting how a close ally of yours used his position of power to stage a fake invasion by the UK without consulting any elected officials except those in your little circle.
This caused much distress to many people, which has yet to be acknowledged let alone apologised for.
This new presidency is doing a fantastic job, if only for the fact it doesn't include you or "Nith"
hiding behind an org, eh?
Sargant Stefanos is my user name. I am not hiding behind an org, I've expressed similar opinions when I came back from Brazil to defend e-Ireland, as a result of Nith's game. I am currently residing in Brazil where I've set up a RM company and almost have enough gold to buy an export liscense to here.
I'm waiting for some moron to use the fact I'm currently working in e-Brazil to devalue my opinion on whats happening in e-Ireland......
*SIGH* This is the reason why I choose to follow a career in the military and not in politics
We could make politics here more like the military but that would be Fascism 😉 I'm sure you all just get along, agree with each other and have a perfect ruler in the barracks...
Also why I am one being accused of dividing the country? lol I'm not the one with the paramilitary organization and at the very least I'm informing the country about the threats we face... If you want to band behind incompetence by all means go ahead. eIreland needs an organized and strong IDF and absolutely competent diplomats. Thanks to some we are striving to have that but no thanks to this sham of a government. We need change now to deal with these threat abroad not political apathy (what will that do?) It is high time we received command from the top (when was the last time we had a message from the President?) What are you as citizen of eIreland doing to protect this country from peril? That's a question people should be asking. I feel I'm doing my bit by motivated our administration to get up and do something. Rather than post pointless comments in the media we don't you try and motivate the nation. Motivation and leadership are things we have a deficit of at the moment.
