Inverted Ireland

Stinicker

Lets imagine for a second that instead of being bankrupt Ireland instead was again booming and was a wealthy country.

What would you do? I'd vastly improve the road network and connect every county to the Motorway network with the aim of having no points on the Island within a three - four drive from each other. Similarly I'd build a new High Speed Rail network connecting every city on the island.

Free Universal Health Care for all

Lower taxes VAT at say 8% most fuel duty removed bringing petrol down to €1/litre

All banks nationalised and ran as a peoples service.

What else would you do if Ireland suddenly went full steam ahead and became modern and wealth instead of going backwards like it is now.

I'd buy a load of houses and sell them for profit. Fool proof plan.

Diapason

Invest in property. It's only going one way, you know.

Edit: Sh*te, Micky D got there ahead of me.

Ghandee

I'd invest in a bunch of e-voting machines.

Tis the future I tells ya!

Latchy

Build a large island prison in the style of Alcatraz and fill it up ...

Sappa

I would invest in a packaging company as the brown envelopes would be flying again.

You would lower taxes and increase spending, seems like a great plan, shame no one thought of that 10 years ago.

I would re mortgage my house to go on holidays 3 times a year and build a deck and install a jacuzzi

You would increase spending and lower tax?

Riiiiight.

Didn't we learn that lesson already? Maybe you want to throw a 'laissez-faire' financial regulator into the mix and see how that pans out !

mackg

Way better public transport.

Sports facilities for communities. A pitch for playing soccer/rugby as an alternative to GAA which a large amount of people have no interest in.

Increased funding for things like addiction treatment centers.

WMDs.

Penn

Help build a golden statue for our glorious leader President-Taoiseach Bertie Ahern

You forgot the wine fridge and a marquee for the parties.

Invest all the moneys in Bulgarian holiday apartments.

Senna

I'd create a policy to force average people to give larger and larger amounts to my friends, well-wisher, cronies, etc making sure there is no way they can be held accountable when it all goes tits-up, then afterwards i'd wonder why people wouldn't want me as president.

I'd build the Dart interconnector and Metro north,a new childrens hospital and a new prison.

No point building a high speed rail connection to every 'city' in the country,as we don't have near enough population density for that to make any sense.

Also would invest a lot into mental health services.

Putting your y fronts on backtofront and putting them on upsidedown is not the same thing.

But remember in "Inverted Ireland" the country is now booming off a new found inexhaustible wealth source. Think Saudi Arabia but with alot more rain and womens rights.

Refurbish Tolka Park, the Ballybough End, for example. Plus a free taxi service for me after the matches

No offence, but large parts of your plan sound like a socialist disaster.

Cycle paths and a big glass roof for the country

Increase the dole to 550 euro a week so I could be happily unemployed, did you notice I am not been to greedy.

Archeron

Use DNA to bring back the dinosaurs and make one entire county a Jurassic Park / free range prison.

kincsem

Build a 500 metre high gold statue of our glorious leader on Howth Hill.

Chuck Stone

Save money for the inevitable crash by increasing taxes everywhere except VAT. Make the banks have 30% reserves on everything they loaned out (not in property). Pay public/civil sector wage increases in bonuses so they could be whipped away when the crash comes.

Make it a rule that buyers had to own a house for two years before selling it to stop people flipping properties in a rising market.

Then when the crash comes lower income taxes, spend the savings on infrastructure, increase minimum wage, let the banks who didn't play by the rules fail. Stop immigration of non and semi-skilled workers.

Leitrim. It's not being used for anything else, is it?
