I think the first thing they need to do is write their Constitution out - in plain Inglish - or Plane Oirish even - would do. Without a written constitution you are basically living at the pleasure of the monarch - "democracy" in quotes Jimbo but not as we know it Jimbo!

You may as well be living in the US where Guantanomo and King George III the Mad Man Rules. Torture is acceptable. Fences to keep them out are acceptable. Financial Instruments of Mass Destruction will land you on the Axis of Weeeeevil and make you drunker than a skunk if GW is to be believed.

Free Dumb of speech means nothing. And Sivil Riots mean nothing either. You could be burning flags until the cows come home. But they would still know where you are!

Even though the USA doesn't have quite as many CCTV cameras per square imperial mile as they do in the United King Dumb they would still CIA you or NSA you or FBI you as guilty until proven guilty!

Turning nouns into verbs is apparently quite the thing this season if RTE's thought Pulleeesss are to be believed.
