If you became dictator of Ireland, what new laws would you make compulsory?

You are lucky not to have been aware of it. But that ends now - I am dragging you into the misery of knowing!

First duty as dictator would be to inflict some game of thrones style punishment on you for sharing that.

1) id tell rte to go **** itself and fund themselves. Tv licence abolished.

2) motor tax capped at 700e no matter what size or co2.

3) increase the threshold for higher income tax and increase taxes on those earning over 120k a year.

4) make the nct available to all proper garages.

5) tell the person who thought a min Alco price was a good idea they are banned from the country.

6) no more insurance disc holders on the windscreen

7) introduce red yellow green traffic lights

8) speed limit on the motorways increased to 150kph but only once the relevant training done.

The word 'Hun' is an instant public stoning.

Abolish children's allowance and rent allowance and other stupid benefits.

Loud exhausts, dump valves and tinted windows are banned.

Working week cut to 4 days maximum.

Supermarkets, off licenses and nightclubs can sell drink and stay open as late as they feel like.

All attractive ladies have to do sexy time with me whenever I see fit.

Step 1 - Ban all dancing.

Step 2 - Make Kevin Bacon an official embassador to Ireland.

Step 3 - Sit back and watch the magic unfold.

Anyone who parks across a white line shall have that line painted across and over the bodywork of their car.

What laws would I make compulsory? All laws - that's what laws are for, though I might be tempted to make them non-compusory where I myself was concerned.

sdanseo

Keep left unless overtaking. On pain of a decade-long driving ban.

Letree

4 day working week.

As a commemoration of the Easter Rising, sail a replica of the gunboat Helga up the Liffey and shell O'Connell Street. It needs a bit of renovation, so no harm to start with demolition combined with historical re-enactment.

Then shell the other side of the river and raze Temple Bar to the ground. (If a few stray shells overshoot and hit the corpo offices it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world either)

jones 19

Ban on the word Hon, as in Hon the rebels ! Ect. Tracksuits only worn by sports people.stupid Tattoos shall be blow torched off. Parents of fat kids should be whipped by their own fat kids.

jones 19

SPIN FM will be outlawed. Music shall replace Irish in schools.

Young Blood

The passing of the economic crimes act where politicians who failed to govern during the financial crisis are arrested and executed.

pogiefallon

Instead of prison for people who burgle houses and mug elderly they should be repeatedly beaten to within an inch of their life for 2weeks by the people who's houses they have burgled or their relatives

Capt'n Midnight

Ineligible people who park in disabled places will be made eligible.

Not that one

Law 1. Any person who writes in full-on text speak, or refuses to include full stops, commas or paragraphs in text messagrs must walk around with the laces of their shoes tied together so they can be easily identified.
Law 2. Anyone who does the phlegmy cough and swallow routine within 10m of another citizen must drink 1 glass of lumpy sour milk. That should sort out the "i cant help it" brigade.

BuilderPlumber

I would tackle the following:

-Public liability insurance would be replaced with personal liability insurance.
-All obscene salaries for ordinary jobs such as consultants and heads of departments would go and the money distributed equally to the people.
-Compulsory 10 year sentences for robbery.
-Compulsory 20 year sentences for murder.
-Life sentences for terrorism and mass murder.
-The media should support all not just a few in the worlds of entertainment and sport. Boybands, Irish modern country music, Ruby Walsh and other people would receive a lot less support and the media would not be allowed force these on us.
-The number of TDs would be cut and the number of other politicians cut too.
-Working week would be reduced to 4 days with well paid hours.
-Price controls of ripoff merchants would be implemented.

1 Begin nuclear program immediately.
2 Force the population out of into the fields and create a peasant utopia.
3 Burn all the books and destroy all foreign ideas.
4 Antagonize and threaten all other nations of the world.
5 Commit suicide in my bunker when it all goes south.

1. Increase minimum wage, introduce maximum wage caps even in the private sector.
2. Improve all transport and welfare services for everyone.
3. Get rid of water tax, lower VAT, lower taxes - except for the very wealthy, increase it for them.
4. Increase corporate tax significantly.











5. Build a giant, black electrical cloud around the island to crash planes with some hopefully rich people on them to replace our recently departed wealthy residents.
6. Offset the multinationals leaving the country in droves over corporate taxes by doing that thing with the magic and ???? profit.
7. Organise mandatory collectives from every walk of life to plant and cultivate trees all over the country. Magic trees, with money for leaves.

I'd outlaw the word 'like'

I was on the Dart once opposite a girl who was giving her companion an account of a conversation she'd had with a flatmate. Half an hour of it, never once using the words "says" or "said": "...I was like...and she was like...and I was like...and she was like...and I was like...and she was like...and I was like...and she was like...and I was like...and she was like...and..." Aaaaaaargh!!!!

Things in life I hate: people who insist on giving others the minutes to their conversations, proper grammar or not. Everyone knows at least one, where they've given you the first 3 exchanges of some pointless conversation they had, verbatim, and unless you derail them or simply just walk away mid sentence, they'll be going on for 15 minutes non stop... if you're lucky.

In order to make him humble, I would issue a Directive that Ray Darcy must be shrunk to three feet tall and made stand in city centres around the country, begging for money by reading erotic literature whilst on a permanent supply of helium gas.

Smidge

Gulag detention for the owners of high horses.
50 lashes for people who make "tea" which is essentially milk with boiling water added.
The removal of thumbs for idiots who spend all day posting crap on FB.
And tar and feathering for the people who run their trolley into the back of you in the supermarket as you are taking something off a shelf/out of a freezer(Im stopped you idiot, go AROUND me instead of reading your damn phone)
