If you could write a new law, amend an existing one or completely abolish one .......

Reintroduce the death penalty and have it just for motorists who don't dip their headlights until 5 seconds after they've come round the bend.

Err... Can you include motorists who don't indicate until they're halfway through the turn.

I'd make high-heels, make-up, perfume, hair spray, after shave, spray tan illegal (some chemical free roll-on deodorant and coconut oil as a moisturizer would be the only cosmetics allowed under my regime).

As for abolishing a current law...

I'd make it illegal for Insurance companies to be able to raise a customer's premium more than 5% unless they have had an accident, incurred points etc.

If you Vote for me these things will implemented asap!

I'll stop you there. Some nutritionists, depending on their qualification know far more about nutrition than clinicians.

Here anyone can call themselves an engineer. You don't even need to be able to shovel coal on a steam engine anymore.

Nutritionist means NOTHING without a formal qualification. It means next to nothing unless that qualification comes from a reputable organisation.

It's the qualification that matters.


IMHO if someone calls themselves an engineer then they should be subject to the same rigours that real engineers undergo. Especially things like professional indemnity insurance.

I'd legalize all drugs and licence and tax the sale of them.
I'd also legalize prostitution and tax earnings.
I'd also tell any biddy that rings Joe Duffy to complain about this to fcuk off, criminalising these activities does not work.

I'd get rid of both religion and Irish from our schools, we waste a criminal amount of time on these and they're useless. If parents feel strongly enough about either of them, let them teach their kids in their own time. I'd kick the religious orders out of schools completely.

I'd totally change planning laws to make it easier to build important large infrastructural projects and conversely, much more difficult to build one off housing in the middle of nowhere.

Finally I'd rip up all the interurban rail lines and replace them with greenways. We are too small an island to be funding interurban rail.

I'd ban all drugs and jail anyone for life who deals them.
I'd also ban prostitution, seeking prostitution, drag queens, and any other perverse sexual act, enforceable by incarceration.
I'd also tell any SJW that rings Joe Duffy to complain about this to fcuk off, poor sentencing does not work.

I'd encourage more of both religion and Irish in our schools, we have lost our way morality-wise and we need to straighten that out. All schools would be converted to Gaeilscoilleanna. I'd thank the religious orders for providing schools all down the years, for no reward, other than being boiled alive by the brits if caught teaching Irish children.

I'd totally change planning laws to make it much harder to build urban-cancer housing estates, and all the wasteful shops etc. that go with them. Conversely, I'd make it much easier to build one off housing in the middle of our agricultural heartland, and farm our precious land efficiently. I'd also ban the export of every scrap of Irish metal to China / Spain / Wherever its going.

Finally I'd rip up all the greenways and replace them with more railways. Public transport will never be right until we have a proper rail system.


Meat and two veg, I hope we never meet in real life.

the likes of teachers and nurses are a more regulated profession than engineers

you could do an online course and call yourself a nutritionist

I would make excusing bad behavior by describing it as "only a bit of craic" punishable by imprisonment

Fuzzytrooper

I would ban everyone from life.

I would increase the power of Litter Wardens, allowing them to follow up information gleaned from dumped rubbish.
Drug users availing of the free syringe kits should have their Public Service Number linked to the bar code of the injection pack, so that when they dump the used kit, they can be traced and linked to the act of dumping.

If you're going to increase their powers then at least give them lazer vision, or super bendy thumbs.

Anyone caught parking in a disabled parking space without a permit or abusing a permit to be fined €3000 and be disqualified from driving for 6 months and have to re-sit the driving test. (All disabled spaces including private carparks, Tesco, etc, photo evidence would be sufficient)

Immediate expulsion of any TD found guilty of financial impropriety and their pension revoked.

Same for parent and children spaces.

I'd agree to a certain degree, maybe with children aged 6 and under. However while some parents need extra space for child seats it cannot be compared to a disabled person needing a disabled space.

Hard to say what I would choose if I could choose only one. Plus one liners do not really detail the specifics of any law I would like to see implemented or how.

Certainly the right to abortion on demand up to around 16 weeks gestation would be on the list. A fully legal and regulated industry for sex and recreational drugs would be on there too.

A marriage and child adoption and education system that was not just slightly but ENTIRELY blind to the sex, gender, race, sexuality and/or religion of the couple entering into it would be up there too.

A regulated system enforcing the "right to die" of people wishing to seek that option would be a prime concern too.

Doing away with the blasphemy law entirely, as well as any religious requirement for public office or legal justice would be an agenda. An entirely secular education system which would make it illegal to use state funding to support any religious module or agenda.

And a medical system and medical legal and insurance system that supports evidence based medicine and does not allow for quakery to be funded at it's expense, or quakery to be peddaled to the vulnerable.

Yes I understand where you are coming from, a very valid point.

I'm thinking more along the lines of a parent with a fit ten year old who is saving their darling 20-30 meters walking (and then do a few kms playing GAA) compared to a disabled person needing the space to transfer into a wheelchair.
