Abolish the leaving cert, they are always banging on about it like its the hardest thing you will face in your life. What is the point of doing 7 subjects in not a lot of detail the year before you go to university to concentrate on 1 subject. I'd replace it with 3 or 4 subjects like A-Level, but remove the modular aspect of A-Level so you do it all in your last year like leaving cert.
Another schooling thing, don't let parents decide when a child starts school. Standardise it like in the north, i.e. if your child turns 5 between 1 July 2011 and 30 June 2012 you are in Primary 1. I don't understand how some people can finish school at 16 and some at 18, and then they have this year called transition year which you don't even have to do? If you opt out of that, it means you can go to university with only 12 years at school.
As someone else said make them do a driving test. I can't believe the amount of people who find it acceptable to drive about with L plates up on their own with no test done.
Prices of most things are too high, but not sure you can change that.
I've had this discussion with my work colleagues, but if i was in a car accident in the south, or broke my leg, and went to a hospital with no insurance would they not treat me? Is their no state provision of healthcare? Someone told me they would but i might have to wait a bit longer and might have to share a room with someone. I would have no issues with either of these 2 things, being used to the NHS.

Always keep a few euros in your back pocket for the ambulance driver, you will never be so injured that you can't try to persuade him to drive on past Loughlinstown.

This is the very reason my borther sent two of his kids to school in Donegal. Big thing on the news this week about how August babies are affected for the rest of their lives. Some damming statistics. So I would have to disagree with that suggestion
Get rid of the ridiculous benefits in 'the south'. Might encourage some of them to get off their holes and actually work!

I don't know about Cavan but we can safely say that both Monaghan and Donegal are in another league - Ulster, liberated from occupation and you don't have to listen to bleatings about a part of Ireland being a separate country.
Also a useful blessed refuge for Nordies, wanting to escape their plight but still be on the sacred turf Ulster.

On the other hand it gives a broader overview of education (or at least is meant to) and leaves students with more choice as to what they want to do after school.

Yes, you'd be treated, regardless of whether you have insurance or not. Depending on whether you're kept in or on whether you came by ambulance, you might be charged €100 for the A&E visit or €100/night (up to a maximum of €1K) for your hospital stay. Avoid Drogheda, Galway or Limerick A&Es like the plague.

mayo ffs building control has nothing to do with planning. theyre the guys that come out while the building work is in progress to insure it is done properly. but down in mexico you'd need nordies to carry it out as the brown envelopes would be out as usual or some td would be phoning up to nobble the enginneer
