How it goes

Half the bus stops in Ireland don't have a seat. The 20-minute wait kills people who can't stand long. A modest carpentered bench, painted with the local football colours, fixes this on a Saturday — once the council says yes. The paperwork is the slow bit; the building takes an afternoon.
