I dtéad eile, scríobh Erin I'm going the "whole hog". What would be some good Irish idioms equivalent to "going whole hog", "pulling out all the stops", "going the whole nine yards", etc.?

Mar thús:

an t-iomlán dearg;
uile go léireach (uiliug go léireach);
an draoi céadach acub;
an draoi céasta acub;

ag bualadh faoi ceann ar aghaidh;

an clár is an fhoireann;

go bundún; (choinnigh air go bundún) He went the w.hog.
