What two things would you change in Ireland with 1 billion euro?

I've always had strong opinions about this, If I had €1 billion euro there are two very important things I would change:

1.) Architecture of Dublin - Dublin looks like a fecking kip as many have reiterated. It's an embarrassment for a capital city seeing as small towns in Western Europe look better on their worst day (e.g Nice during July attacks) than Dublin will ever look on a warm clear sky sunny day in June/July. It's very difficult to be one of the happiest countries in the world when we live in gray buildings overlooking a virtual sewer.

I would demolish the buildings that couldn't be remodeled.


2.) Creating liberal schools - Hopefully this would get rid of the harsh accents in North Dublin and across some parts of the country. I also think we Irish (along with the English) are quite conservative compared to our European counterparts when it comes to parenting, schooling, etc. It's probably due to our long history of Catholicism and poverty.
