What should Ireland have?

Have you ever lived somewhere, or visited a new place and be overcome with the though "WHY do we not have this at home?"

For me it used to be Milo drink when I was in Australia - why did Mars never release that here?

Or the fresh salad bars - which chopped and the likes are now doing a great job of.

What do you reckon we have finally got here, or are still lacking for some reason?

Dunkin Donuts.

Milo is available here. The Chinese Supermarket at the top of Henry Street in Limerick has plenty of it.

An underground rail system in the major city's would be nice

A united island!

A legal system that protects it's citizens.

A Mediterranean climate.

Ireland could use an international airport Mr. Burns..

Proper Governance

We don't have major cities.

sbsquarepants · 09-06-2015 01:39PM

We have 1 and an underground would be a god send

Grayson · 09-06-2015 01:40PM

Cafe bar's. Somewhere you can go with friends and sit around a table having a drink or two.

osarusan · 09-06-2015 01:40PM

Japanese style nomihodai where you pay a set fee (say 20quid) and drink whatever/how much you want for a set time, usually between 1 and 2 hours.

Can't imagine what could go wrong.

Dublin is a shade bigger than Oslo and they have a great underground system.

They had a chain of Asian take aways in Berlin.... Sure we have Chinese's here but they open at 5 and sitting in, is like a restaurant.
These places were just so much handier and you didn't feel like you ate absolute garbage.

Decent street food would be nice.

I was in Cyprus years ago and there was a lovely crepe restaurant. You could buy crepes covered in all types of syrup or chocolate sauce. They had lovely flavoured tea as well. The restaurant also had loads of boards games to play.

It was weird at night to see a load of sixteen to nineteen year olds in this restaurant sitting down eating pancakes and playing Monopoly as opposed to here where getting drunk, pissing against someones house and puking your guts up on the footpath is the done thing.

Ireland should have places like this. Not necessarily crepe shops but some other option for young people to socialise that doesn't involve drinking copious amounts of alcohol.

We could do with a higher standard of population. Abroad the people tend to be superior.

10 Years ago I might have said "Seperate Hot and Cold Taps" but we seem to be getting a lot better at that. Certainly however the two button toilet flush system could be implemented more here which uses less water for number than for number 2

A deposit system on plastic bottles might be nice too - like Germany has.

Yeah a closed loop recycling system like the Scandies do is what's needed (I presume the Germans are much the same). Great system.

Dublin is a major city and many cities smaller and less densely populated urban regions have complex underground rail systems.

Try talking about public transport with anyone other than a CIE employee or a taxi driver. You might be shocked to find out the rest of the human race would not agree with either of them.

Maoz falafel place.

An underground metro system

They also have twice the GDP Ireland does.
