Ireland in 2034

KingOfFairview

What do you expect Irish society to be like in 2034?

Owryan

Stinking, as the crippling water rates mean people no longer wash or shower

With the advent of successful langer enlargement surgery, lads will pole vault to work.

intellectual dosser

The Garth Brooks public enquiry will be drawing to a close at a bargain €2.3bn with the conclusion that the city manager did the right thing.

I'd quite like to have a penis several dozen metres long with veins so thick you could swim through them, but I don;t think 2034 is a realistic date for that

Or that there was endemic corruption on all sides but nobody will ever be punished for it.

wazky

The Healy Rae dictatorship will be into its second year and Laois sold off to pay for the compulsory flat cap wearing initiative.

fleet_admiral

The Dublin underground still wont be built

KingOfFairview

Ah come on some things will have to be good

I rekcon it'll be less violent, slightly richer, less alcohol-centred, more liberal in general

Arsemageddon

RTE's entire schedule will consist of clones of Gay Byrne interviewing Gay Byrne about what it means to be Gay Byrne

Back with the motherland.

They will self-destruct trying to out-condescend each other.

You left out the junkies, what happens to them? Perhaps a monument erected in their honour in 2030 to their brave acts of syringing and mugging ?

they'll mostly be dead, but the new ones will be far more sedate

You're optimistic, I think we'll still be implementing austerity to pay off our debts.

But by then we'll have shiny moon-money which will magivally appear in German banks

Following 20 years of global warming it will be much like present day Catalonia. I'll have a vineyard.

Even more foreigners. Feckin loads of them. Our towns will be taken over, all the Irish will have fecked off back onto the land. Mark my words. It's happening already.

BTW; no xeno.

KingOfFairview

One things for sure: Old Men's scrotums dangling forlornly in the wind will have become a central feature of our everyday lives

A new lethal form of methadone perhaps?

Ireland will be the dominant country in the British Isles dictating a secular policy to both Wales and Scotland.

You're on the wrong forum bud, perhaps boards.co.uk?

MultiUmm

Ireland will continue to become more liberal, therefore we'll have a more progressive and open society.

The Catholic church will be even less relevant than it is now, although there will probably be small pockets of more extreme hard-liners scattered about the place, re those nuts in 'Catholic Democracy'.

We'll have a more racially diverse society, we'll definitely be seeing a lot of second or even third generation children from immigrant families.

Economically, well, that's hard to say. The global economy appears so unstable that you can't even predict how the next 5 years will pan out, never mind the next 20.

Flooding and extreme weather will probably be even more prevalent, which will be a serious issue for us to contend with.

Alcohol will still play a central role in society, although advertising and cheap distribution will most likely have been cracked down on, with even more health warnings etc. in place.

Let me finish that...'prompting a change in the prefix British'.

Aidric

Still wet.

Davarus Walrus

The punishment for committing serious thought crimes will be to have comments from the journal.ie in 2014 fed directly into your brain.

Absoluvely

Slane Girl will be celebrating the birth of her 11th son while KPMG Girl will be living off Daddy's pension.

any1butdublin3

Hopefully there will be less Dublin people on RTE, maybe a few nice presenters will Donegal brogues, just too many Dubliners on TV for my liking.

The majority of the license fee comes from us Dubliners so I think its fair

I don't think you know what majority means.

I'm saying that as a Dublin resident with basic arithmetic skills.

By 2034 all the land inside the canals of Dublin will be a separate republic of junkies inhospitable to anyone who does not elongate each spoken word for no reason.

KPMG girls solicitors will have people disappeared for even mentioning her name.

The Adversary

Eamon Dunphy will still be a panelist on RTE.

The Diabolical Monocle

Lots of genetic engineering and neuro/nano-surgery.
There'll be an awful lot of good looking people around.

Losing a limb or two will be no biggy.

Work will be highly automated, the jobs that we now refer to with the likes of 'ah yeah but you'd need a human to show the computer what to do' .... wont need a human.

We'll be repelled by the idea that people used smoke cigarettes. In the same way we think about chewin tabakky these days.

Your chemical kicks will be available via microchip. There'll be an awful lot of high people around.

Which is okay since work wont be a big deal either.

Philosophy courses will see a real surge as mere work starts to no longer get in the way of the big questions.

Crime/Crime fighting will be much concerned with nano level technology.

To our own detriment we will develop smaller and smaller cameras and communication devices, you'll never have privacy levels like those of today or like those in the past.

That comfort will be gone as Mrs O'Leary down the road can now operate a drone with a lazer distance mic and scan your home from 10,000 meters as her robot pours her tea.
There'll be countermeasures, and counter countermeasures, and so on, and laws introduced and broken but you wont ever speak as freely as in past years.


Probably the first proper signs of the long awaited flying car moving into mass production.

Economic class will start to overshadow nationality more and more, the elite from all corners will live in a world even more separated and have even more influence.

Air/Long distance travel will see technological and economic improvements, a trip to Beijing for the weekend will be no big deal.

I may also have gotten some ass by then.

Adamantium

After years of provocation, NATO forces mount an assault on Ireland's southern coast, Supreme Chancellor Enda Kenny rides a nuclear weapon into battle.

The Shannon is drained and dammed, to provide a skateboarding park in the hopes of reinvigorating the Irish economy and Nation is down with the Kidz......it fails.

During the NATO invasion, Enda hopes the enemy tanks will just fall in top of each other into what once was the Shannon.

2034

There will be a countdown clock on Ahern Street (previously known as Grafton Street) to 2036 Dublin Olympics

A new professional soccer club called Saint ShelBohs Rovers FC from Dublin will win the Champions League.

The Irish Times will be a tabloid app called TIT

Rugby will have been found out and have amalgamated with the GAA

The price of pint will be IR£37 in Temple Bar. The Euro will be extinct.

Renting a flat in Longford City will be the same price as a flat in Rathmines because people will be able to commute to the midlands by hi-speed mono-Luas in 45 seconds.

Garth Brooks will be dead and Croke Park will be rebranded the Brooks Pepsi Arena

Sligo will not have changed a bit. It will always be 1987 in Shhhhligo

wicklowstevo

a post apocalyptic waste land ruled by many minor warlord who raid and kill as a way of life . food weapons and power will be the currency of the day. we will all have motorbikes and cross bows and deadly hair cuts .

i shall rule as a violent and benevolent leader over by tribe in order to finally pay off my mortgage

In Lonesome Dove

Well there won't be any concerts or enjoyment events due to nimbyism and compo sponging.

In Lonesome Dove

And Cork will be the capital of Ireland.

Never mind 2034. There will be more Dubs in Galway than locals by 2019.

It balances out the culchie invasion of Dublin in the 1970's
