So apparently Martin McAleese has come up with this great idea...we come up with the ideas to get us out of the doldrums and this recession of ours.

So if you have any good ideas the website is here

If however you want to see Brian Cowen getting nailed in the knackers you can always vote for this proposal

Enjoy,
Pyridine!

OctavarIan · 17-02-2010 07:53PM

Ha! This is too good :rolleyes:

.SONIC. · 17-02-2010 07:59PM

haha brilliant

epgc3fyqirnbsx · 17-02-2010 08:06PM

Thats pretty mad, I haven't heard anything about it in the news

You really wouldn't know, could get some pretty radical proposals, might actually do some good!

Here's my proposal, CORRECT PAGE TITLES.

Fuck sake, this country.

I'm not really sure what this thread is all about. But Martin McAleese did my teeth and the dude is a legend. Best dentist I ever went to by a long way!

bluecatmorgana · 17-02-2010 08:18PM

Wow this is a brilliant idea, how did you hear about this website?

Boards should sticky this and stick it on the front page, sure just think of all the good ideas floating around this place, think of all the times you have used boards to ask questions that you couldnt find the answers for elsewhere

Wazdakka · 17-02-2010 08:24PM

This...Could actually work..

Quick get it the hell out of AH before it gets destroyed..

Hank_Jones · 17-02-2010 08:28PM

Yeah...kicking him in the balls...

That's bound to get us out of the recession...

Now, if there was a charge and anyone who wanted to could have a go, that might do it.
Could be quite the money maker.

Turtyturd · 17-02-2010 08:28PM

That Michael O'Leary bloke might have some interesting idea's if someone wants to tell him about this.

Cookie_Monster · 17-02-2010 08:41PM

so the government have setup a website to steal ideas off people, or exploit peoples ideas for their own benefit?

How original, just need to give them your bank details to sign up I suppose

:rolleyes:

Koloman · 17-02-2010 10:20PM

It's just another talking shop! It's more style over substance.

They've run out of brown envelopes, so you'll get a virtual bribe instead of hard cash for a good idea.

Not really...

Where has the support for Your Country, Your Call come from?

In the spirit of Your Country, Your Call, the website, competition, design, project management, technology, advertising & media, decision making panels, television production & programming, prizefund, and implementation funds have all been provided for fully by Irish and non-Irish corporations, as well as a small number of Irish firms and individuals, in a huge demonstration of social responsibility. Your Country, Your Call also has the support of the Government of Ireland.

If the Government weren't supporting the idea there would be people moaning too

The government are the elected people of Ireland... This is just the elected people of Ireland asking for ideas from the unelected people of Ireland

The "government" aren't some alien organisation, they are just people that have been elected to represent an electorate.

Seriously....

Nevermind_ · 17-02-2010 10:39PM

i really couldnt be arsed registering for the site etc but my suggestion would be to make prisoners do some work while in prison, anything at all even cleaning up roadways parks etc.
Let them do something for the cost to the state of imprisoning them, trials, the judiciary etc.
In the U.S. they even make things like license plates

Sleepy · 17-02-2010 10:52PM

I've never had much time for McAleese. As a person born and raised in a foreign country, I don't think she has any place being president.

However, I think this is a real step in the right direction and there are already some good ideas there: extending the artists exemption to computer game development and the motorway afforestation program being my favourites so far.

funk-you · 17-02-2010 10:54PM

I think Boards should enter an official proposal. Where else could you find such a huge collection of people from different walks of life who can discuss and debate ideas in a mostly civilised manner with a common goal.

Make a forum Dev...

I'd pay for that. would have to last at least 5 rounds though

blubloblu · 18-02-2010 12:37AM

How long until the "Legalise it" submissions appear?

MonkeyTennis · 18-02-2010 12:40AM

legalise what now?

blubloblu · 18-02-2010 12:41AM

You know... it

hidinginthebush · 18-02-2010 12:57AM

Increasing number of forecourts are closing down and jobs lost and one of the main reasons is an increasing number of drive offs. One way of stamping every one of them out is by introducing mandatory pre pay for fuel transactions which won’t let you pump the fuel before you pay.

Surely the reason they are closing is the very small profit margins in
fuel and the fact that there is stations everywhere and all cars plates are recorded anyway.

lucylu · 19-02-2010 02:20PM

Martin McAleese will be on the Late Late Show tonight to promote the website.

My name is URL · 19-02-2010 02:25PM

The current most supported idea on the site is to make unemployed people work for their welfare payments..

typical bloody Irish thinking.. the whole point of the website is to gather ideas on how to create sustainable jobs, not dictatorial notions of how to punish people who were made redundant through no fault of their own

Aidric · 19-02-2010 02:30PM

Am I right in thinking some initiative similar to this was already run last year? I can't quite recall the title they had for the body but remember seeing a feature on it on Prime Time one night.

Edit: Found it. http://www.ideascampaign.ie/
