Take religion out of schools.
Take religion out of hospitals.
Make the health service public only. If private companies want hospital beds let the build 'em.
Adopt a proper public transport policy and keep it publuc.
Put manners on the guards.
Actively engage in the peace process, and act as a counterweight to the Tory/DUP axis who don't give two fucks about the north.
Adopt abortion legislation that allows women bodily autonomy, without having to pay for a trip to the UK; and which also ensures that women aren't kept on life support while their brain liquifies just because they were pregnant when they suffered a fatal accident.
Get money out of politics. Don't be so beholden to property developers.
Stop being an offshore tax haven for the likes of Apple, Google, Yahoo, Pfizer, Dell, Tesco &c.

Oh, and this one is directed at Headquarters, don't be so fucking greedy, the GAA is an amateur organisation!

But according to lists online about what everyone hates about the UK,

The culture of getting very very drunk is on so many lists for what they hate about the culture of this country.  That's one thing that was on the list of things people hated who came from the UK to go to other countries and people who came from other countries to the UK.

That and public transport.

The NHS is probably bad these days.

I haven't been out drinking, caught public transport or had to go to hospital or the doctor for a while but I have experience of these things and I think we probably could improve on those things.

But from what I've heard from people who I personally know from other places such as Ireland, Nigeria, Sierra leone, Syria, Pakistan and so on the UK is a pretty good place to be.

I've used public transport in both Ireland and the UK recently. Irish public transport is both better & cheaper.
