That's not a bad idea actually.

Something to be said for the US chain gang idea. Make them do something useful.

Leo has a point there alright. The Gardai need to be out on the streets (and doing more than easy tax and speed checks)

What is this bull**** about more Gardai and crime. They need more prison spaces , that’s what’s needed. What fear is there , when you can’t be locked up for anything but the most serious offence?

Lol, Eamomn Ryan really lives up to the Green name. His policy is "the grass is greener over there", eg look at Vienna, look at Portugal. It's still better than People Before Profit I suppose.

Nothing wrong with taking ideas from successful policies implemented in other countries.
