I think the big ramification you're missing is tearing great big chunks of Belfast out of the ground and moving it to Mars. Don't get me wrong, I think buying the houses off the Irish government and moving them to Port Lowell or wherever is a decent idea; if nothing else it'll give the neighborhoods a little more character than Industrial DIY. Thing is, I'm reasonably sure that the Irish would like to retain the *land* the houses are on. Moving everything including the ground might get some people a little upset, know what I mean?
