1. A trip around the Sudocrem factory
To see where the magic happens.
It is made right here in Dublin after all – may as well take advantage of it.
2. A hut out the back of RTÉ where you get to spin a replica of the big wheel from Winning Streak
You wouldn’t win any cash, of course, but it’s the experience that counts.
3. A visit to a life-size Bosco’s box
The thrill of the nostalgia.
Build it and we will come.
4. The caravan park from Father Ted
A perfect remake of the caravan, with small cow figurines and a kettle would be ideal. The rest of the caravan park could be a Ted-themed wonderland – including St Kevin’s stump.
The marketing writes itself.
5. A guided tour of the area in Dublin where the man fell on the ice
The gift shop would include the chance to purchase miniature man + ice sets and get your photo taken falling on the exact spot. Queues would be down the street, especially in winter.
6. A nostalgic trip through Redz nightclub in Dublin
Before it actually opens up as a new place, they should have a Redz-themed guided tour of the place. Down those stairs, where dreams were made.
7. The Hunky Dorys factory
Yeah sure, we have Tayto Park - but that's not the only beloved crisp that we want more access to. Hunky Dorys are made here too.
8. And finally... a recreation of the famous Harp ad with Sally O'Brien in the pub
Step 1: Find out which pub it was shot in.
Step 2: Make sure it looks the same as the ad.
Step 3: Whack up a few Harp-branded signs around the place and you're done.
Its iconic status as the number one ad ever in Ireland will bring in a much needed boost of domestic tourism.
Some entrepreneur out there - make these happen. You'll be a hero.
