Let the punishment fit the crimes

JUST a few thoughts on how we might punish those who have brought our country to economic hardship, Prison sentences would be great, but they would be extremely hard and very expensive to get, solicitors fees would surely run into the millions of euro, and even if they got a prison sentence they would be left out on temporary release, in about one third of the time, due to over-crowding.

So maybe we could impose a sentence upon them, (they may even volunteer to take it rather than face prosecution) called the “Irish Recession Punishment“, which would include the following: He/she may never live/rent or stay in a house bigger than a three bed semi-detached within city or town limits, or a small cottage in rural areas, (max home capacity 1,100 sq foot), with an appropriate garden size.

And certain areas where he/she is not allowed to live in, eg Blackrock in Dublin or Montenotte in Cork, etc.
