If Ireland went to war...

Tabnabs

... in an attempt to conquer new territory to feed the endless demand for foreign property (hey, look at all the stamp duty the government is missing out on),

where should we invade and why?

Charles Haughey's Privately owned island in the Blaskets??(i think)

with Irelands relatively non-existant Navy and Air Force, only a land campaign would be remotely possible, so I'd say Northern Ireland. The Brits could get overstretched in the middle east - so who knows.

Well lets see....where could the Irish army attack and actually win....maybe a handful of small pacific islands? Oh, and Andorra.

And the Vatican I suppose. then maybe move onto San Marino.

Now that would be funny to see.

Sweden - kill the men and bring the women back here for breeding purposes.
Invade England as well - see how they like it.

Turkmenistan. why not?

It is ruled by a crazy nutter and they export gas to china.
They are also landlocked.

Why in hell would we invade turkmenistan?

Hows about we invade Greece by hiding in a Giant wooden horse - That's what they'd least expect, its beautiful!!

DMC

Switzerland. Like us, they never pick on anyone else, so there's enough reason to invade.

Because its There! goddammit!

On mature reflection i'd say The Vatican would be easy even for our understaffed & overweight defence forces-its just loads of really old priests & a few boys with axes & stripey baggy pants.

magick

the Vatican

think of it all the grannies would get a free pass to mass with the pope!

We might be able to take the Isle of Man.

Failing that... Tory Island?

Have you not read Angels and Demons??? They have more security than the average cat

I'd say the Isle of Mann, it'll bring us near enough to the UK so that we can throw stones at them if we want. Oh and the whole no speed limits thing would attract me too

In search of land.. we should go to Namibia, they're faily used to being invaded and there's a bit o land to go round. Nice coastline, Windhoek Beer rocks, and they have Guinness and Kilkenny - wohoo!

We could invade the channel islands , taxes are low there and they are used to been invaded. So manybe they mighn't mind too much

The Ivory coast. Flag mirror image stealing biatches that they are. And when we've rescused our flags reflection, we then have a good staging post to invade Burkina Faso to the North. I just really want to go to Oogadougoo and laugh at the sign posts!

Binomate

The USA. It would be like an ant throwing a pea at an elephant, but fun to watch all the same.

We would need to arm to the teeth but Norway is a good call.
They have alot of oil (we'd steal it) and culchies would be getting revenge for the founding of dublin.

Tunisia.

For no reason.

Hang on now, Why dont we invade ireland, then we can implement my socalist policies, nationalise eircom, tesco , dunnes, fix the public transport, lower the price of the pint, look after our old people, Educate our prisoners, and give them better facilities, so when they do get out they wil be nice :-) Invest billions in the education system from primary up...

oh sorry hang on, have we not invaded most countries allready by immigration in the past and now by property investment...

5starpool

The Galapagos. Even the Irish defence forces could beat a few turtles. Maybe we could take Easter Island while we are at it, and draw funny moustaches etc on the statues.

Also, we could take the Falklands, pretending to be Argies while we are doing it and get them in trouble with the brits.

kittenkiller

I'd say either Scotland or Wales.

The cultures'd fuse together beautifully and with Global Warming as it is, our climates are rapidly merging and Jasus we'd have mighty craic!
We might even be able to join forces against the English!!
