What has the current government done for Ireland?!?

Quite a lot, actually.
Despite controversy over the Cabinet, the crash of the forum, and the activity of the President, the amount of work the government has been doing is extremely large, which I will illustrate further later. First though, a few words regarding our circumstances are needed. Quite a few policies have had to been put off due to the war, to my extreme frustration. In the meantime, more excellent schemes have been come up with, and some have passed. I hope this war can end quickly so that we can get back to business.
To address the almost endless sea of articles complaining about Starks' supposed inactivity (which is ridiculous as I talk to him for more than an hour every night), I have decided to point out what we have actually achieved so far, as well as filling you all in on matters, as today marks the start of the last two weeks of the Presidential term.
In the area of Finance and Industry, we have had a revolution.
The major tax reforms have passed, and income is now much more consistent.
It also exceeds our needs, and so, I will require two TDs to place the income taxes down to 10%, which will place our income on par.
The currency instability was halted by intervention, and before speculators managed to move in.
While a controlled depreciation trend was planned, after consultations with various people, it will not be implemented for the forseeable future.
Feasibility studies into the creation of Overseas State Companies have been started and are continuing, as well as studies into state aid to companies via various means.
In the area of Defence, we have also made great strides.
A fully budgeted tank fund for the defence of the country has been set up.
The War Council has become increasingly involved with military affairs, and its formalisation will continue once the new forums are up. Our country is now better defended than ever before.
The Department of Health has also advanced greatly.
The State Housing Scheme has finally been implemented via cooperation between the Department of Finance and the Department of Health. The first state house was issued a few hours ago.
The Company Wellness Scheme has also been passed, aimed to help companies keep production high. I hope companies will contact Top_Gun about this service, as it holds great potential.
Meanwhile, our neutrality has been secured thanks to the great work of our Foreign Affairs people, our vice-President and our President.
Neutrality agreements were secured from all bordering countries/alliances, and a legally binding Non-Aggression Pact is in the works. We have also managed to insure that all parties are aware that Ireland's sovereignty is our main concern, and it appears now that a situation of complete security via good relations with both sides in the Third World War has come about.
What next?
We intend to fully continue the reform process to the best of our available time.
Top_Gun is also working on getting new forums set up, they should be ready today or tomorrow, so that we can continue the work of the Dail to the fullest extent possible.
Brian Boru,
An Aire Airgeadais.
Note to my Department Staff:
You're doing a great job and giving me the freedom to work on reforms.
THANK YOU.

great article, no one can deny the great achievements of this administration
Starks needs to be seen on erepublik. He needs to comment and write articles. If he just talks with some people on IRC he is no being active enough. Throughout Nith's presidency he was constantly giving us updates through his newspaper and commenting on others so we knew he was alive. I have no doubt Starks isnt doing some work but the people need to see him

I know, but the fact of the matter is that the work is being done.
Nith's communication with the public was more to do with wargames updates than anything else.
" no one can deny the great achievements of this administration "
lol. I think alot of people have done more then that
Nith's articles were about wargames because that was what was going on at the time
"lol. I think alot of people have done more then that"
Yes, from an unjustified position for the most part.
Regardless of how messy the supposed goings on in the government are, policy reigns supreme.
By the way Patton, are you a TD?
I need two to reduce income taxes.
"Nith's articles were about wargames because that was what was going on at the time"
Those are notices, not actually communcation.
Regarding the housing scheme, how many houses have been issued and what criteria was used to decide who got a house?
uaithne, the details were on the forum, and the proposal was voted on in public.
Basically, IDF people get them first then people below certain EP.
"Regarding the housing scheme, how many houses have been issued and what criteria was used to decide who got a house?"
1 so far,see above,but there are a few more people on the cards for one.
Criteria was basically if we think they need a house to help their wellness,and they have 3 gold,then they can get a house.
It's much easier to give it to those who need it rather than putting in XP limits and such.
only 6 votes? poor brian ; _ ;
I agree with you TG, the people who need them should get them. We should follow the legislation passed by the Dáil. If you're between 35 XP and 100 XP, or in the IDF, you should get one for the agreed price. However, if you're not in the IDF, and If you've reached Level 13 or above, and you can't look after your wellness, you don't need charity. You need a education on how to keep up your wellness.
Keep up your good work in Health, it's a well-run Department.
Brian, I can put the proposals up if you need. Just tell me the specifics.
Nevermind, I see what you nee😛 tax rates from 12 to 10% on manufactured goods. Ill do two of them now, someone else can get the others.
Since we have no forums, I used this article as the debate link for the proposals.
"only 6 votes? poor brian ; _ ;"
It was 4am when it was posted Manni, I don't expect people to get up just to vote my articles.
@ BB, I did, dear, I was up anyway.
but you probably guessed that...
Can we talk later if you've time, please?
Thanks.
Brian do we actually keep the 3 Gold or do we donated it to you to give the house to the citizen ?
This list seems to be rather short compared to the many complaint articles, isn't it?
Cheerio
"This list seems to be rather short compared to the many complaint articles, isn't it?"
The complaint articles say the same thing over and over, so that's to be expected.
4 a.m Where you live. When I saw this article at 10 o'clock. And since according to Fiontar's article were all rl Americans everyone would have been awake. I guess Fiontar was wrong
Pretty much.
*high five*
In an Irish way.
We still need another TD to put up the other proposals, no?
@bb
Are you sure the tanks are FULLY funded. We could always do with more money
Gordon, a stated budget amount has been given and there is more where that came from.
You could have just wrote, NOT A LOT.
Food & Gift tax change proposed as requested
Great work. Could i participate in the OSC project as i came up with a simular idea.
I found what happen to Starks (aka adam) and why no one see him.

''You could have just wrote, NOT A LOT''
Bryan I am sick of your nonsense.
Glad I didn't vote for Starks... The government needed change from the ISRP/1UP situation....
This list seems to be rather short compared to the many complaint articles, isn't it?
And yet it's a bit long longer then your list of acheivements over 2 terms 😛
Cheerio
