There was discussions on this in December but it never really got very far up the chain.
The Hong Kong business man wanted this initially.
… the city would have an initial population of between 50,000 but would grow to 500,000 over 20 years, with at least 50 per cent made of people from Hong Kong, and 15-30 per cent from Ireland and Europe. It states the city would have a “free reforming economic system” within Ireland; an independent relationship with the EU; control of its own borders; a low and simple taxation system; no foreign exchange control; and an emphasis on “ease of setting up and conducting businesses”.
No sane country would agree to this and I'm not sure why they would choose Ireland for something like this? Anyway neither Ireland nor the EU would allow an automous state in their borders. Sure what could go wrong?
