I would also reduce basic social welfare to below poverty levels, and would have topups dependent on recipients participation in public sector projects (beautification, general labour etc)

They did that in eighties when the dole was a lot less then it is now

Ever hear of the "FÁS Wall"
People out building walls that served zero purpose but was done just to keep people busy

Chuck the Irish language out the window.

I'd bring in hard labour for all offences against property, and generally offences not involving assault.

Non-fatal offences against the person would have a minimum 5year sentence.

Underage offenders and anti social behaviour would be sent to Military school. I'd set up military schools and discipline would be enforced along military terms. No questions asked.

I'd remove closing time in town/city centre pubs. Publicans/ managers would self regulate. There is no sense in a nightclub having to close at 3am, none. for suburban licensed where they may be in proximity to dwelling houses a dispensation would have to be sought whereby the hours kept would not impinge on neighbours. Failure to comply would see the licence revoked.

I would allow any car be retroactively taxed to the new bands if the emissions were in line with the 2008 regulation. I would charge €300 for the privilege and the car would have to carry a specially coloured tax disc to indicate it was compliant there after.

I would see to an immediate separation of Church and state.

I would criminalise ginger hair & ban the growing of celery.

WallyGUFC · 30-09-2011 05:29PM

Murder = life, full life, not a poxy 15/20 years.
Rape = life, you die in jail.
Mandatory driving tests for every qualified driver every 5 years.
Change the speed limits. 50km on a primary national route is a joke.

I'd change the dole thing. I'd pay out a certain amount for 3 months. In this time the person has to show that they have somehow searched for work and had at least 3 replies from companies etc. They can choose to blow all the money in a week or over the 3 months. I wouldn't give them anymore. If they haven't done anything about searching for work over a big period of time, I'd make them do ****ty jobs like sweeping and cleaning their community. Basically make them my slaves.

Celly Smunt · 30-09-2011 05:45PM

Change Ireland to a dictatorship,not the whole " oh the IMF and EU are already a dictatorship" crap,but an actual working dictatorship.

This means no eurovision winner wanting to be president and passing the book stuff.

Pure capitialist greed dictatorship.

maybe an Irish hitler without the killing part.

Bobby Baccala · 30-09-2011 05:47PM

Murder - Agreed [Unless guilt is in doubt]
Rape - 15 years, offenders register for life
Mandatory driving tests for every qualified driver every 10 years
Change some of the speed limits. 50km on a primary national route is a joke.

Seriously - they are.
I know they are as irritating as hell and as full of talent as a stagnant bucket of water - but I wouldn't wish them a night of long knives.

Your first rule negates your second I'm afraid.

Personally I'd just ban people turning right.

A real liberal Utopia you got there.

Mars Bar · 30-09-2011 07:16PM

I would ban anything Christmas related until December 1st. Shops can then stock and advertise for the big shopping day of the 8th.

General General · 30-09-2011 11:41PM

First of all, I'd change the name to Norway... then head to the banks & withdraw some spending money to last us 'til the next month's oil money cheque comes in.

I thought about changing the name to Saudi Arabia, Iran or Venezuela... too risky.

ItsAWindUp · 30-09-2011 11:41PM

Ban slaughterhouses.

AhSureTisGrand · 01-10-2011 12:14AM

Deregulate stuff. If I want to buy a car with seatbelts that strangle me then that's my own business
Privatise marriage (all government does is enforce contracts)
Replace Amhrán na bhFiann with Nyan Cat
Smuggle Ryan Tubridy into Germany and refuse to take him back unless they lower the interest rates

After installing Eric Cartman as Fuhrer, I'd like to see concurrent sentencing abolished. I'd also like it to be impossible for a scumbag to reach 20* convictions. Whether this means locking a criminal up for life after 19 convictions or having them put down, I'll leave it to our new Fuhrer to decide.

* I picked 20 but it's fairly arbitrary. I'm being a bit generous here. It takes a certain type of scum to achieve 5 convictions and while 20 is taking the piss, I think that even the most haemophiliac of bleeding heart liberals (I hate that term btw) might accept that 20 convictions is just not on.

The House Of Wolves · 01-10-2011 09:17PM

Legalise abortion
Change the way exams are run
Make it easier to divorce
Change speed limits according to the actual road in question, not just in general.

Ban teenagers sitting at the back of a bus blasting out music through their tinny phone speakers.
