I’ve just entered the Your Country Your Call competition. It seems like a genuine attempt to collect mold-breaking do-able ideas to help lift Ireland out of the doldrums it (not to mention everywhere else) finds itself. So I thought I’d give it a bash. Who knows, one of these days someone might listen to me.

I’m not sure what I should say about my idea at this stage, but the proposal is listed here. I’m quite positive about it’s chance of success actually, but I’ve resolved to put the whole thing out of my head for now until finalists are announced -in September or so I think.

Here’s the ‘blurb’ for my submission if you don’t want to click the link.

Ireland -A New Way (Sli Nua)

.

The title might appear to imply some sort of idealised political movement, but nothing could be further from the truth. This is a new way for the people of Ireland (and the world at large) to look at Ireland and see it as it has never been seen before.

.

It’s radical, yet very simple. It requires a little effort from people throughout the country, but will soon transform every area -for the better.

.

It’s economically practical. It creates jobs and skills throughout the country (not just in certain areas), increases tourism everywhere, vastly improves the physical and mental health of the people, makes the country a safer environment, is Environmentally-friendly, brings communities and its people closer together (in non-political, uplifting and positive ways), teaches skills to those who want them -and also brings a boost to local businesses the length and breadth of the country.

.

It also brings some comforts of city-living to people of the countryside and gives city dwellers a greater taste of country living.

.

This proposal benefits everyone in practical, realistic and non-cynical ways. No vested interest wins over other sectors.
