    What I think we can do to solve all our problems

    1. Cancel Shell to Sea licence and renegotiate where we get a share of the profits and we can pay off the National debt
    2. Build a Nuclear Power plant and change all cars to electric cars
    3. Open Pubs on Good Friday.

    1. Not Happening.
    2. Too many objections and no expertise in the area of nuclear power. Electric cars will need an infrastructural overhaul that we cant afford at the present time.
    3. One extra day in a pub wont rescue the economy. Besides the pub trade is dying on its arse along with everything else in this country

    wanna try again?

    1. We would get sued by shell for the money, and even if we did take it, the amount of gas in the field is far too small to make a dent in our debt.

    2. Building a nuclear plant and buying a fleet of electric cars would be expensive and add hugely to our debt, not solving any problem.

    3. A good idea, but totally irrelevant to our nations big problems.

    Perhaps we should hire some of these graduates to work in the department of finance.

    Maybe that would help the economy on its way to recovery. There are few enough of them there as it is

    You can't build a road in this country with NIBMY protestors and bus loads of rent a mob

    Good luck selecting a site for a nuclear plant.
    Doesn't mean you give up of course but be prepared for Christy Moore and his layabout followers

    Legalize cannabis
    Mass produce it
    Export it
    Anyone gets caught selling abroad extradite them back and put them in comfy prison

    They say this bailout is costing us all in the rgion of €30,000 for every man woman and child in the country. My solution is this - give every man woman and child their 30 grand and we can all move somewhere sunny and sign on the dole - let it be Spains problem.
    After all, we're all europeans now:D

    Legalise Cannabis:

    -Huge amount of tourism could be generated from this.

    In a weird but unsurprisingly irish way, prostitution is not actually illegal. It is however, not taxed. So put a euro or two on the price of a pint punt, and it might actually help us out a wee bit.

    Yeahhhhhh... the kind of tourism that has seen the Dutch government try to impose a 'locals only' law for coffee shops. We have enough smashed out of their mind Brit stag parties staggering around Temple Bar as it is thanks, I really don't see that the junkie market is likely to add much to our tourism economy other than nuisance.

    The kind of tourism that has seen Holland's neighbours, especially France, try to force the dutch to impose a 'locals only' law.

    Just EMP all the DBs and backup tapes...

    debt? what debt, it just got wiped out!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,619 ✭✭✭ilovesleep


    Something i would love to see legalised in ireland is euthanasia - assisted suicide. The way i see it is I have 40 years to retirement. thats 40 years of getting up early, going to work just to pay bills. I'm going to die anyways - why wait? I would love to build up a little pension fund. retire at 50 and get an injection to die once the money runs out.
