    I would Place my name down for Minister for Education and Skills:

    What would i Bring to the Table,, Well First off..

    I would do away with the CAO point System.. This is a lot of pressure on a students trying to make their way into 3rd Level.. most cant take it and we have seen people take their lives over not getting enough points..

    To Replace this i would put in place that once you have Done a Leaving Cert you can then do a Test Within the College of your choice and the Course of your choice, the top 20 or should would get the Offer.

    Those Test can be taken in your Old School Exam hall so if your applying for a Course in Dublin then you will not have to Travel to Dublin..

    Second. I would do Away with FAS and fire every one in their FAS is out of Date...

    I would Replace FAS with a New Name.. and offer the Training that will get people back into Jobs.


    Schooling 2nd Level.. Maths and Sci is a big part of our school days and the fact that people are starting to fail and the fail Rate is at its all time high Scares me!!!

    I would Look at how its being Teach in Schools and see what we could do, Send all Teachers for a Re-Test every 3 years no point having a Maths Teacher who went to College in the 60s teaching the old Style..

    I would like to see second Level schools offering people who wish to go into Computers in 3rd Level offer some course in School..

    I'd bring in compulsary basic english including spelling , grammar, punctuation etc. for all Boardsies! :rolleyes:

    From Article 40 of the Constitution, emphasis added:
    6. 1° The State guarantees liberty for the exercise of the following rights, subject to public order and morality:

    i. The right of the citizens to express freely their convictions and opinions.

    The education of public opinion being, however, a matter of such grave import to the common good, the State shall endeavour to ensure that organs of public opinion, such as the radio, the press, the cinema, while preserving their rightful liberty of expression, including criticism of Government policy, shall not be used to undermine public order or morality or the authority of the State. The publication or utterance of blasphemous, seditious, or indecent matter is an offence which shall be punishable in accordance with law.

    ii. The right of the citizens to assemble peaceably and without arms.

    Provision may be made by law to prevent or control meetings which are determined in accordance with law to be calculated to cause a breach of the peace or to be a danger or nuisance to the general public and to prevent or control meetings in the vicinity of either House of the Oireachtas.

    iii. The right of the citizens to form associations and unions.

    Laws, however, may be enacted for the regulation and control in the public interest of the exercise of the foregoing right.
    Good luck with that. :cool:

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    No ministers, just representatives from private companies who run all the areas presently run by ministers. All self-financing. One govt dept created to hoover up at minimum cost the resulting carnage

    Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform: Michael O Leary

    Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Tom Murphy (DeVore)

    They wouldn't work very well if they had to work together given DeVs noted dislike of MOL but they'd both get their own jobs done pretty well I think.

    As per usual on this website not one person can comment and actually contribute to the arguement in the slightest, we're confronted with the exact same level of condescending ignorant and frankly sad posts we always get from small minded people attempting desperately to make themselves feel important by putting down everything and everyone who comes before them.

    Bravo lads, I should proably now try to make fun of somebody elses grammer, or maybe make a ''funny'' joke about how the OP spelt the word Morans?? Seriously people....

    I agree!

    Far easier to sit back and mock than actually look at the merits of an idea.

    Fair play OP - and I agree with your idea that there are plenty other people more qualified for Ministerial positions - that are not just in them through nepotism.

    Out with the old blood and in with the new. :)

    i want minister for justice.... i'd bring back the gallows and stocks

    Murderers, rapists, and child molestors would be hanged

    Drug dealers would be made into the mules to proves shoving condoms full of drugs down their gullet is dangerous

    Bankers would have to pay a stupidity tax to repay the tax payers

    Asbo collectors would be placed in stocks so the rest of us can throw rotten vegatables at them

    Convicted Boy racers would be restricted to peddle cars.

    homeless/lazy dole spongers would be rounded up and placed in a workhouse.
