So, a few weeks ago I emailed my locally elected representative, outlining my concerns about an upcoming statutory instrument. Cut a long story short, it was a copyright instrument. At the time, I expected it to dissapear into the void, like so many job applications.
But.
I actually received a response today.
My concerns, admittedly likely shared with a number of people in the constituency, were raised in the Dáil as a question put to the Minister, and my TD received a written reply that was informative and contained a lot of relevant information.
And so. I was surprised. And rather pleased, actually. The whole democracy thing actually worked for once.
