    I've got a novel idea, we offer it to Ireland in a lump sum, would pay off 30% of their national debt in one go.

    What really do they do in Ireland other than charge minimal corporation tax and not give us Father Ted anymore.

    Seriously, we could offer them the money.

    Why has this not been countenanced before.

    We could leave the 39 billion in gold ingots under some location in the south coast. A series of puzzling question leads to its location, Merkel and Varadkar in yellow and pink jumpsuits.

    "How many triggers did the Stasi give to the IRA?"

    Merkel:

    Varadkar:

    "I think these colours clash."

    I suppose it's not that novel, the Romans and The British got empires from divide and rule.
