    The bloody thing would cost more that we'd save........

    Ya, the constitution is great, but I'm all for changing it if needs be..........

    There was a proposal a while ago to scrap the presidency altogether. A step to far in my book...........

    What about if we had a series of referendums on the same day lump them altogether

    abolishing the Seanaid
    Abolishing the blasphemy sections
    Allowing Judges pay to be cut
    Allowing ministerial pension to be only paid at normal retirement age or later if minister is still serving.
    Reducing the number of TDs

    Anymore you can think of


    If we did them altogether we could save money besides cuts have to start at the top even as only an example that those at the top are not exempt.

    Interesting that their is constitutional protection for the income of the president, the Judges, the ministers and NO protection at all for the weakest the old the sick and the unemployed
    Its the Crips and the Bloods all over again

    seriously if it goes the way the gov dont want it to go then they will simply have another one and scare those that are easily scared to vote the way that the gov want it.

    the money will be here soon YES gang,

    But the tree huggers will never go for it..........

    There would be that many suggestions and changes to be made the rain forest would vanish completely with the amount of paper required...........

    Here's a quick look at 1 ballot paper...........




    Of course we could save ourselves a bundle and go for electronic voting...............
