    In England you have 'Political Tours', hosting politically oriented trips to locations such as Northern Ireland and Kosovo. In the Czech Republic, CorruptTour.com is offering sightseeing trips around sites of political corruption in Prague.

    Why doesn't some entrepreneurial soul offer a Mahon report tour, taking in St Luke's, Fagan's Pub, various council offices, Berties home in Drumcondra, the Dail etc.....

    CorruptTour.com says it is a unique proposition in the tourist world, providing access to some of the “leading practitioners of corruption” operating today. Tours last for an average of three hours and souvenirs are available.

    Sure the damned tour would take 15 years to complete, and the chances are the tourists would feel they really hadn't learnt anything they didn't already know.

    :D

    That's a great idea if I lived in Dublin I'd give it a go. I could always set up a pre tour sign up where they have to pre pay for the tour. Then I wouldn't show up and hopefully they get the irony of the whole set up.

    You would need a licence to operate, easily sorted with a brown envelope.

    Great idea. You need to take in the "new" Spensor Dock building of Anglo Irish as well. It could be called "Celtic Tiger" tours. Agreed with the licence. A brown envelope should solve that easily!
