TBH, the CSO website is not one I visit regularly. But, it's a typical example of civil service mentality... -- Hey, Dublin civil servants*, what's the population of Rathmines. -- Well now, that's not my department. -- Whose department is it? -- I can't provide you with that information because it's above my pay grade. -- You're joking? -- No. Try phoning this number for more information... I know they're not 'technically' Civil Servants, Public Servants, Knights of the Realm, 10th level Masters of the Dungeon but, at the heart of it, they're all pen-pushing, paper-filling, time-wasters. Hi Des,

– Hey, Dublin civil servants*, what’s the population of Rathmines.
– Well now, that’s not my department.
– Whose department is it?
– I can’t provide you with that information because it’s above my pay grade.
– You’re joking?
– No. Try phoning this number for more information…

I know they’re not ‘technically’ Civil Servants, Public Servants, Knights of the Realm, 10th level Masters of the Dungeon but, at the heart of it, they’re all pen-pushing, paper-filling, time-wasters.
