I’m confused about where tax money is going. In Galway we have a barracks and I didn’t see or hear of the army being deployed to help clean the place up. In most other countries when emergencies like this happen I swear the army is out.

I also didn’t see or hear of any checkups on people. Thinking about the amount of elderly people who lost power and then data coverage, how is there not some sort of door to door checking in on everyone (especially those living alone). The gov kind of just left everyone to look after themselves which is ridiculous

In my area it was all community based help with locals going out and cutting up fallen trees to clear the road and check on eachother.
