Should we sell the Dail to a Russian Oligarch

CDfm

With NAMA falling apart and the only course of action being the Gilmore/Kenny proposal of inviting in the IMF, I want to help out.

So I have been coming up with proposals to help the Government that McCarthy wouldn't have thought of -him being an academic and all that.

My first plan is to sell the Dail to a Russian Oligarch and move the Oireachtas to a rented unit in an Industrial Estate outside Navan that you could get for an 18 month rent free option. If we got a few units we could sublet them to TV stations and newspapers.

That should raise a billion or so.

We can do more - so lets help the country out and put our heads together.

I think there are loads of ways

I suppose it would be ok to give the Russians a laugh.

I suspect that many Oligarchs are even deeper in the shít than our own developers and I don't think that NAMASKI will be as generous to them.

Putin has been puttin in the boot to a few of them recently, forcing them to pay up and honour contracts.

I personally beleive we should sell all state property related to Health care and totally privatise the elephant in the room. We are spending 40% of total spend on this alone yet over 1 million Irish adults use the private system. We must kill socialised medicine in Ireland and cut at least 250,000 workers from the public service.

The Russians would rename Ireland Inthesh1tia, to twin with Ingushetia, another oddity of a place under their control.

old boy

get rid of lenihan one minister less, then sack the guy they hired at a cost of 320,000 a year plus the perks for both, thats 1.2k per year, not much but a start, put the credit union in charge of finance, pass a law that the the serving, and retired members of the dail and seanad only recieve the o.a.p. nationalise all their private assets, (well leave them a house, a car and a generous bank debt), that should do for a start, i am sure someone will make a decision on the (w)bankers and the developers.

pass a law that the the serving, and retired members of the dail and seanad only recieve the o.a.p. nationalise all their private assets, (well leave them a house, a car and a generous bank debt),

Can we house them in Killinarden and put them on the Luas.

Gilmore and Kenny's plan is to invite in the IMF?
Why, that seems crazy. Could it be true?
Of course not.
I happen to favour Labour's idea; temporary nationalisation of the banks.
It's the only way out of this.
But who cares, eh?
Sure the other ones are just as bad as that Fianna Fail crowd.
And, jaysus, aren't we great craic.

Ya could say rent out Aras an Uachterann to a deposed leader of a South African country or as a holiday home for Mugabe.

We could give Mary McAleese a caretakers job in Farmleigh as its only accross the road.

I think he does. In lots of European countries like holland healthcare is funded by private insurance and you pay around 13% of your salary for it.

Because healthcare is a blank check spending balloons which it has in Ireland -so much so that it does become nesscessary to have some mechanism to control it. A radical proposal if health care is not done like that it should be represented as a seperate tax.
