Whatever you do make sure you do it before 12 years of your ownership is up or you could be waving goodbye to it.

Start a lollipop farm.

Cultivate it, build a settlement around it and then declare it as its own independent republic.

Bring it to Dublin. It'll be worth more.

You posted this thread before in farming and forestry, what was wrong with the replies there?

Best idea would be to charge rent to the creamers that have probably moved onto it already.

Where in Munster? Build a house and sell it in a few years.

Take a look at the airsoft forums. You can turn it in to a buisness.

reflection point?
whore house/caravan?

large patio?

Open a cemetary. If you pack them in good and tight you could make a fortune.

Build 80,000 apartments on them and then sell them for €500,000 a piece. Oh wait, this isn't 5 years ago.

Rent it out to a neighbour

It's your decision at the end of the day

Paint it grey so that it looks like there's a problem with Google maps / Google earth when you look at it from the satelite.

Sell it for its current recessiontastic value of 20p.
