If YOU ran the country...

Duggy747

How would you sort our problems?

Me? I'd rule this country with an iron fist and turn our prisons into those like the Turkish counterparts, that'll keep ya on the straight and narrow. :pac:

I'd remove the spire and replace it with a giant solid gold statue of me with a look of disapproval.

EDIT: Hmm, thinking of which that wouldn't sort anything out. But it would be nice to be a dictator.

Id get some giant scissors, and cut the whole of dublin out, move it a few inches away from the rest of the country, and leave the rest of the country languishing in deep water, watch it drowning, laugh at the culshies trying to feed their cattle and not even offer a tent to those whose houses are four feet deep in water and good ole irish shi*te ...and wave from the edge.. (oh sorry, it seems like someone already thought up this idea minus the scissors and the few inches) xxx

I can picture it now...

Troops marching in lockstep down O'Connel Street.
Missile battery's thundering forward.
Tanks roaring
Jets howling.
Everybody happy... because being unhappy and moaning is a capital crime.

PCPhoto

meh .... gather up all the criminals (repeat offenders) .... put them in a burlap sack (Santa's Bag should be big enough),
.......throw in a few bankers (Management), couple of construction moguls and a scattering of politicians.

Tie it up and throw it in the sea....oh and to make sure it sinks - include Mary Harney.

I'd drop the VAT to 12.5%...

My name is URL

I'm with you OP :pac:

People wouldn't like how I'd do things but tough biscuits

First off, I'd give everyone 3 months to decide whether they want to live here or not, after that the borders would be closed to immigration and emmigration

those on the dole would be given jobs maintaining roads etc and prisoners would be sent out to do hard labour

Everyone would be expected to keep and care for a plot of land where they can grow veg and raise livestock

Obviously none of it would work, but meh

Jesus Wept

free donuts.

You have no idea what you've gotten yourself into!!!

1. Public / Civil servants get rises/promotions based on merit, not years of service.

2. The dole declines a certain percentage each year you're on it.

3. Banks charged interest on government bailout funds received.

4. Religious orders to pay entire reparations, not a token amount

5. Public sector pension schemes no longer defined benefit. Nobody in the private sector has that luxury.

6. Minimum wage cut to attempt to retain manufacturing jobs.

7. Unemployed to work 2 days a week to help in state services. Eg. builders to help maintain state/council properties. Others to clean up local litter, maintain parks, maintain school computers etc.

8. Zero tolerance to anti-social behaviour

artanevilla

I'd ban places like this.

Make drugs legal and tax the fcuk out of them.

Bye bye recession and bye bye scum bag drug dealers.

Hello massive drug problem.

meh.

I would spend about 5 seconds deciding whether to shoot some/all of Fianna Fáil. Then I would shoot all of Fianna Fáil.

Turn Thomond Park into a modern day gladiator arena and invite the local gangs to battle it out once and for all. Fence off the pitch and scatter real weapons on the turf - swords, maces, spears and their old reliable...knives (proper ones not stanley knives). The star attraction will be the presentation of the victory prize to whoever "wins" ...it will be a really hungry polar bear looking for a cuddle (maybe we could ask ze Germans for a loan of Knut).

Once the gangs are done cue Sunday Matinee of bankers, property developers, politicians, pedo priests etc

Oh and I'd invite Thierry Henry to officially open the place and have a kick-about on the pitch.*







* We won't mention the landmines dotted about the place.

No...id set up camps for re-education:cool:

Meh, if there was a reason for banning X-Factor, it's that it promotes manufactured, crap music that infects the radio waves every Christmas.

Not because it's gay, that's just silly.

Dudess

I'd eradicate boggerishness from the cabinet.

I presume yes cuz it's gay

I'd incur a time limit to how long you can be on the dole.

Put the prisoners into hard labour, make use of the tax money that's used to give you cushy privileges.

Tweak the law so that if you're a paedo / rapist, you have forfited your right as a human and as a citizen of this country. Now, geeeerout!!

Put a limit on how many kids you can give birth to if you're living off the welfare.

Very short time limit on foreigners wishing to come here and live, unless there's proof you plan to work long-term or study.

Get rid of this "Republic Of Dublin" thing that infects our media and makes people think we have to aspire to it's trends. We're not all raw potato-munching muck men out here, y'know?
