1) Slash the social welfare spend in one week with biometric ID cards for every person over 16 on the Island.
2) Draw up plans to leave the Euro and show the Troika the plans (it is a bluff of course, tell the Multinationals discreetly it is a bluff also, but it works for Greece)
3) Whip the backside off the banks for all the lies they are still telling us,start firing some of these criminals, for a start
4) Begin teaching Science/IT from age 7 in every school
5) Get a real business man to attack the HSE / Civil Service / Justice department, the mission is simple, make Ireland the least corrupt, crime free, low cost Country in the Euro Zone with low corporate tax and highly educated English speaking young workforce.
Implement these basic tactics immediately and the investment will come in. Expand or Die!
That's my rant over.
