What is ireland missing that makes life abit better?

I Think its the poor selection of shops (outside dublin anyway) And proper shopping centers with good shops. -
Poor transportation system, if you lived say in Dingle and say you wanted to go to cork how the hell would you get their without a car? -
Beaches and family resort's (Example: Brighton) A Lovely family resort with everything you could think of, Irish beaches are missing shops and things to do, Brighton has a great selection of shops and a amusement park on the pier
Lack of money acourse - Thats another thing lack of money for people to do stuff

What else?

Good looking women who don't think they deserve stuff because they're good looking.

Caraville

WTF is with all the underlining? Is this stuff going to be on the Junior Cert????

All that Ireland needs is a little more sunshine. It's a beautiful country, but when the sun comes out, it's so much better.

If we had a higher population density, all of the things OP mentioned could exist and be sustainable.

It would be a great little country if we could just put a roof over it!

longhalloween

Theme parks.

Something to do at night that doesn't involve sitting at home or going to the pub.

And decent (id even settle for predictable) weather.

So your main needs are shops and transportation to shops. ?

Ireland needs more underlined text.

Speaking as someone who left the country and misses it every day:

---Things that probably will never happen---
Less rain.
There was a guy on AH earlier today giving out why there are no Shopping centres in Galway. Roof Shop Street, and you have all you need right there. Why do we need to roof it? Because of the rain.

Warmer water.
According to friends of mine, Ireland is one of the top ten destinations for surfing. Warmer waters in the Atlantic, and we could be one of the top 3. Cue loads of geologists telling us that waves would not be as big if it was warmer. .


---Things that could happen---
24 hour anything would really be nice.
If I remember correctly, Tesco had one 24 hour place in Dublin, but couldnt sell alcohol after ten. There were a handful of Spars open late and that was it. If I finished work at 2 AM and wanted a quick pint before I went to bed there was no-where, even in the capital city. Thats poor form.
If there was one place that delivered food between 1am and 7am they would clean up.


Being able to go to A&E, as in Accident and Emergency, and leaving within an hour, and not just be a delivery driver would be nice too.

Cheaper, safer, more reliable transport.
What more can I say?

Dodgy politicians, corrupt bankers, corrupt officials, every country have them. I see threads here, every day going "What does Ireland need?". The answer is, nothing. A lot of countries are in the same economic situation as us, how we deal with it defines us. And thats all I have to say about that.

Uderlined sentences are supposed to highlight their importance, but for what ever reason, they seem to have the complete opposite effect with me.

I just ignore or have blind spot for them.

Possibly because they are really annoying.

A spot of sunshine

Decent bands and solo artists. In the seventies there was the likes of Rory Gallagher and Horslips. Now we have Jedward.

I reckon they're still out there but the radio stations don't play them anymore like they used to.

Jedward are musically awful, but they're a funny pair of lads.

But there's still decent Irish musicians about the place. You might not have the time to discover them, but that doesn't mean that they don't exist!

-to lighten up a bit. I'm a messer, always was, don't really have a serious bone in my body, and everywhere, Irish people look at me like I have two heads. I love the weather, nice and variable. Love the people mostly-nice and variable, hate all the red tape, hate how we run with every rule and regulation, hate the whole "joe Duffy, get the compo, screw the angles" attitude. Lighten up a bit, oh yeah, and drown Ray Darcy in a pool of Gay Byrnes p1ss.

We'd all be disease ridden and go sterile from sti's, so it would cancel out any population growth.

Ireland is missing nice weather.
And I really wish we had more drugs- medicinal ones.
Hardly anything is licensed for use here.

The "ah sure tis grand" attitude is one of the things I hate about this country.

It sums up the spineless nature of the general population as a whole in my opinion.
