The best plans of men and mice often go awry

Ye hypocrites! are these your pranks? To Murder men, and give God thanks? Desist for same! proceed no further: God won't accept your thanks for Murther!

The best laid schemes o' mice and men Gang aft a-gley; And leave us naught but grief and pain For promised joy

The best laid schemes o' Mice an' Men,
Gang aft agley.
An' lea'e us nought but grief an' pain,
For promis'd joy!

(To A Mouse)

The joy of my heart is to 'study men, their manners, and their ways,' and for this darling object I cheerfully sacrifice every other consideration.

I'm looking forward to working with this great team of men and women in streets and utilities to continue offering Dublin residents world-class customer service.
