Ways Ireland could become debt free/rich overnight?

qwert2

For example imagine if we found a HUGE oil field off the coast (like saudi levels)

The only other one I could think of is if the government won the Euro millions every week

Dont worry , They'd find a way to p**s it away

Monorail! It'd sure put us on the map!

We should invest all the nations money in a pyramid scheme!!

Bet all government income on Justin Bieber to die this year and then go out and shoot him.

Two birds.

How about if we got a loan for what we owe?

...no wait, we'd still have to pay back the loan. So instead, we get a loan for twice what we owe! Sorted.

Reduce politicians wages/expenses to that of a fitting level for a country of our size.

Sack the government, & elect people other than ex barristers.

Spread the taxation out, hitting the highest earners hardest.

Sell Cork, I know it ain't worth much but we could let on to the British it's a great place altogether, like.

Sell a few counties to China to build massive bases with nuclear weapons, they would pay good money for them, we may even be able to blag them by saying the northern 6 counties are ours and say they can dump their nuclear waste there, I'd like to keep Derry though but I'm open to negotiation about any county if the price is right.

Now that's a flawless plan if I ever saw one.

Sell our kids to Kony?

Sex tourism: why let the priests have the kids at the state's expense when rich foreigners will pay.

Hey hey hey, listen up here now bud, there's over half a million Corkonians, many of which are crazy farmers living in the mountains and many of which are crazy whack jobs that wear their white socks tucked into their tracksuits, both of which have easy access to firearms so good luck if you try forcing anything on the rebel county.

ANGRY FACE!

We mobilise the whole country with what ever weapons we have and invade the Isle of Mann. Kinda like a new age Viking type thing. Pillage rape and plunder... and other such things.
