NGOs should receive no state funding but take their case to the public. If they can show they are genuine charities helping people in real need they will receive adequate public suppport. If not, they will collapse. The public will then see those who are paying their CEOs large salaries and using most funding for administration and dump them. This will also prevent our government wasting taxes on their favourite NGOs.
Money laundering and jobs for the boys ( theys?)
Good point! If Money laundering is banned, then NGOs would be the first to be banned!
NGOs are a government inside a government, looking at the march on the weekend in Dublin. all NGOs and then RTE the biggest one of all in my eyes, reporting that there were thoooosands at the march. Fn lies.
Agree! If NGOs were not receiving state funding, then any ‘necessary tasks’ would be carried out by civil servants, who take an oath to the republic and would cost a hell of a lot less! Apart from that…. the NGOs just wouldn’t exist without funding and our taxes would be used for us, and not against us!
Is there a full list of NGOs taking government funding available ?
I do not have one. However, as a baby step, check out INAR which has a netwirk of 100
Check out ENAR and tge universities which receive Soros Open Society vua Joseph Rowntree Foundation
Also check the websites of Joe O Brien and Rodders integration

Would I be correct in stating a figure of 5.5 billion euros being distributed to NGOs?
Conservate estimate imo
A billion here … A billion there … Before you know it you are talking about a fair amount of money.
It’ll be more than I have in my piggy bank , thats for sure.
The NGO sector has become an out-of-control tyranny. They control the Government; the Government answers to them and not vice-versa.
If they dont, then stop giving them our money. We dont want our money funding marxists.
The Government should be accountable to the people! With NGOs, they are creating unelected government departments that are not accountable to the people. In fact, NGOs acting on behalf of government is unconstitutional in a democratic republic… because it removes the power from the peoüple and uses it against the people!
It beggars belief the National WOMENS’Council wants to erase women from the Constitution
