We all know what is proposed in the ROI - the status quo with a lot more debt, the good times at an end but for a few. My proposal is the opposite direction -
1) Tell the IMF/EU to get stuffed.
2) Replace the current government with one selected from outside any current political party.
3) We all know who the culpable and corrupt are - jail them.
4) Plenty of houses to go around - cancel all mortgages, give every family their own house, debt free.
5) Get rid of all taxes and welfare and replace with a land value tax/citizen's income to pay for a basic public service of healthcare and essential services.
6) Aim to be self-sufficient in energy (and maybe food) production in less than a decade.
7) Allow small home grown businesses to thrive and form the new economy.
Send the message the the people are in charge, that they will create wealth for their country on their own terms and that spivs, chancers and wanabee politicians need not apply.

Sounds good to me!
You're joking, right? The author of those proposals is either a fucking nutcase, or taking the Mickey.
Take your pick, as it has to be one or the other ...
Incidentally, as someone who relies heavily on custom from the Irish Republic, Dev would be among the first to go to the wall if this proposal was carried through.

Fucking brilliant video and so true. How dare the fuck pig politicians give bonuses to the bankers. One law for the rich and one law for the rest of us I suppose.
“I wish no harm to any human being, but I, as one man, am going to exercise my freedom of speech. No human being on the face of the earth, no government is going to take from me my right to speak, my right to protest against wrong, my right to do everything that is for the benefit of mankind. I am not here, then, as the accused; I am here as the accuser of capitalism dripping with blood from head to foot.”
John Maclean (Scottish socialist) speech from the Dock 1918.
