    Ireland needs a major shot-in-the-arm at the moment and this could be the answer..

    I'm proposing a massive national festival in Summer 2012 and invite all the Irish abroad to come home for it. There's around 80 million of them or so out there and it's about time they came back to the auld sod and paid us a visit!!

    I'm calling it "Feile Glas" (Green Festival), and I reckon it could save jobs, create jobs, bring money into the country, create international networking opportunities, and well, CHEER US UP, FFS! :D

    I have a Facebook group set up and need people to go and join it and make this happen. C'mon it won't even cost you anything (except the electricity of a mouse-click), let's have a HUGE party and er, save the country too..

    <facegroup link snipped by evil biko>
    <thanks biko, can people search Facebook for "Summer 2012"?? ;-) >

    Thanks guys. While you're at it, get involved on the Facebook wall and put up some of your ideas..

    According to George Michael, you've got to "get up to get down", so you could be in luck.

    Good to see the forum snipers are alert. Thanks guys! ;)

    Yep, and make sure they are only allowed to enter the country via shannon airport........x
    and also they must fill in a questionairre on arrival (costing ten euros) about why they left in the first place.......x
    co-incide it with Arthurs day, why not........x
    Infact do a raffle for 30000 four bedroom oil fired central heating bungalows in rural ireland with no insulation and give free planning permission for everyone who enters to build on cheap land that nama will be selling off......
    Offer them all jobs in holding centres for those that cannot prove their irish heritage enough in the past 5 years to get carers allowance for the poor sods they left behind... and bar them all from signing on the dole for atleast 3 months after they have filled in the questionairre (see above).... x good luck, will join the facebook page for the laugh tho x

    News:As you know my proposal for an Irish Summer festival was entered in the Your Country, Your Call competition. I got loads of support for the idea, eventually being ranked in the top 25 out of over 10,000 entries, which I was pretty chuffed about!

    Just goes to prove how utterly sh*te & pointless that competition was.

    If you want a festival that bad, OP, just f*cking go to the Electric Picnic like any normal person.

    when i first stumbled upon this thread i thought it'd be, 'c'mon guys, we'll all have a massive party on the twenty-first of december and we'll wake up with a triumphant headache the next morning!'

    OP, even though I agree with your sentiment - the boards populous isn't a "join my facebook group" user base.
    Once you reach 25 posts I suggest you put the link in your sig. Until then I'm afraid it will remain a mystery.

    OP - It will be very, very difficult to carry it off but maybe if you get support from travel companies etc it could help both them and your cause. I wish you luck!

    Well, I'm not going to do it all obviously. Just need lots of people to row in behind it and let it get a life of its own.

    Happy 35th?

    It's not THAT bad an idea in fairness. Sure we can just pretend to like them for a few days and take their cash.
