    Like, would tobacco be banned? Would abortion be legal? Would we have a TV licence fee? What would we never see the need to legislate for?

    In before the Legalise Coke & Hookers brigade.

    They'll be here soon enough.



    I'd like to see some laws on white collar crime introduced.

    Sick of seeing people in golden circles giving the rest of us the 2 fingers while we struggle to make ends meet.

    Well, this country felt it appropriate to introduce a law against blasphemy only three years ago, so I suppose protecting the church and the ears of its patrons would still be a priority and thus many other things that are illegal due to the influence of theism here would remain thus.

    Those that have teeth should be forced (by law) to brush them at least once a week.

    No more moaning about bankers. That should be a law.

    Make sure there's enough beer at my friend Rory's 25th birthday party in 2002. We ran out at a ridiculously early hour.

    It's illegal to sleep in a caravan, even on holidays. Refusal to comply with this law means immediate deportation to the newly renovated Spike Island, complete with zombies.

    Tralee does not exist and any speak of it and its deportation time again. Except you swim.

    No cigarettes allowed

    People who imitate a D4/Yank accent face a firing squad. No exceptions

    That I'm dictator for life

    On a woman's wedding night, she has to spend it with me rubbing my belly (unless she is a swamp donkey). Like what the English did to the Scottish in Braveheart.

    I would make a law in which a hormonal pregnant woman, at any given moment, can take the hat right off a Garda's head.. and relieve themselves in this hat. They deserve it.
