I would replace minimum wage and jobseekers with a baseline living wage for all.
Change the roles of social welfare officers so they are in Medical, educational and job centres informing people of their rights and supports rather than the current model which makes people almost afraid of them so they miss out on vital supports.
Introduce dog parks in every town.
Free housing in Dublin and other low accommodation areas for anyone entering chronically vacant essential roles - medicine, education including childcare educators etc
Audit the road network and put A&E facilities including maternity withing 40 minute drives of each other around the country and increase helicopter travel capability between them and larger hospitals.
Add 24 hour youth cafes to every town with supports and games facilities including emergency sleeping areas.
Develop DV accommodation for all.
Remove urinals from all toilet blocks and create urinal blocks instead allowing for non gender specific toilet/baby changing facilities in our public areas ...
I could go on and on ....

"It's funny you should bring this up OP because I was just thinking if I was The Boss I'd be giving everyone the day off to enjoy the sunshine  "

"Distribute the €14bn to the citizens of Ireland "
Theres a few questions on that
Do you include people that have never worked a day in their lives and scrounge off the state
What about prisoners
What about those born here that had to immigrate
What about all our new citizens
Do the families of those that have died since the first court case get a payout
So many questions
Can you imagine the court cases |

Give a couple of hundred million to hospitals in Europe to clear the waiting lists especially children's waiting lists for scoliosis
Change the bail laws
Change the law so that politicians can only be voted in for 3 terms
Build a road from Portlaoise to Dundalk
Cork to limerick
Start a massive apprenticeship program and build the biggest social housing projects the country has ever seen
Build a tunnel from the Shannon to the east of the country where the water is needed with a massive lake in the midlands as a reservoir
Overhaul the justice system
Pay Barristers and solicitors by the single case only and not for every time they appear in court for the same case
No more multiple court appearances for some scrote to get a suspended sentence
Put Guards on the street and civilians in the offices
Then after my lunch ....

I would take into state ownership all religious order property. I would permit continuing community use of churches halls and accommodations but ownership would reside with the Irish State in recompense for crimes against the Irish people.
I would tax all tole operators at 100% of profits rising to 200% if it wasn't paid on time.
I would ban paid parking by councils.
I would increase the old age pension while decreasing unemployment payments.
I would open the Galway to clifden rail line as a commuter and tourist train.
I would take into state ownership all vacant property and pass to council to clear housing lists with income generated returned to owners.
I'd make teachers issue an annual public apology for their long holidays and I'd bring in a fine for anyone who said nurses are great.
I'd bring in an asshole tax, if you're an asshole as decided by me you pay a tax. Rate depends on how big an asshole you are.

Reform our education system to cater for different academic abilities rather than the memory test we have now, ensure everyone has equality of opportunity in education not just equality of access |

"Reform our education system to cater for different academic abilities rather than the memory test we have now, ensure everyone has equality of opportunity in education not just equality of access "
We have the LC which is academic in certain areas but many subjects are project orientated- all practical subjects contain 20% upwards to 80% project only. The languages are not just memory due to the aural element which requires listening and deciphering. Maths is now 'project maths' looking at life skills versions of maths.
LCA is primarily project based and most definitely not memory orientated- very much skills based with projects in both 5th and 6th year.
There are various entries into 3rd level with opportunities for every level of education - Further education and training/Post Leaving Certificate/Access courses/Apprenticeships - many if these do not require a leaving cert people just need to be of a certain age.
Many more academic courses are also accessible once someone is 23 with an alternative entry or minimum subjects not points orientated entry.
We now have many online degree courses to facilitate those who cannot afford the trip to more expensive cities. We have allowances in lots of areas to facilities the high cost of fees.
Education has had huge overhauls already with more set for September next year. |
