Ireland in 10 years time..

people will have grown and extra leg and 2 extra arms.

I can't see much changing. We're just not an efficient country. We accept failure way too much. I pray that Fainna Fail won't be in power but people have short memories and some sort of coalition between Fianna Gael and Labour will last one term and then will be divided and conquered by FF again. I hope that some sort of basic free wifi is available if not nationwide then at least in the major urban areas. Hopefully there are decent motorways linking up the cities and i hope that they relay most of the rail lines so they can bring in high speed trains. I'd like to see plans for an undersea tunnel between Ireland and Scotland. I'd like to see greater powers given to local government. I'd hope that we have a French style system of government. You might pay more taxes but you get a world class service.

Something like this:



We Orwell just got the year wrong.

The DART will be the only rail network in the entire country. Dublin Bus will stop at 7 every evening, and Bus Eireann will only serve the cities four times a day. The only hospitals will be in Dublin... In fact, Dublin will be perfectly intact, the rest of the country will be a barren wasteland .

Only aul fellas and people who aren't 'with it' will be wearing Skinny Jeans.

The sale and consumption of tobacco products will be a most heinous crime.

Micheal O'Leary will be President, and will rule with an iron fist.

The D4 accent will spread to all areas, and morph into a language in itself. Thus Ireland will no longer be recognised as an English speaking country.

Despite worsening weather, with rain falling every single day, men will still refuse to use an umbrella.

Refusing to speak the new D4 language, Irish soccer fans who follow English clubs, will take it to the next level and start speaking with Liverpool accents, Manchester accents etc.

By order of President O'Leary, Irish Rail shall be renamed Ryan Rail. Dublin Bus to Ryan Bus, Bus Eireann to Bus Ryan and the M50 will be called The Super Ryan Express Way, with a toll of €59 return.
