@LooneyPeter @rtenews Is that the "irish men harm women so let's bring in an pay for the dregs from the the 3rd world argument, because other governments are shitting on their own people....it's cool.🤪

@Fantom01010 @rtenews No doubt. But you said Irish politicians are the most corrupt in the EU. I'm sure you'd agree there's a lot of corruption in the EU, I'm wondering why you think the Irish are top of the pile.

Accumulated profits at a property management company owned by Minister of State Micheal Healy-Rae exceeded €1 million last year, according to newly filed accounts rte.ie/news/2026/0328…

@LooneyPeter @rtenews It's billions

@Fantom01010 @rtenews That's a long tweet, but I do see at the end that the reference to 'corrupt' was an opinion. That's what I was asking about, thanks

Over the last five years (2020–2024), Ireland’s total Official Development Assistance (ODA) — its foreign aid and international development spending — amounted to approximately €9.09 billion.946b0cf5acaf This figure comes from official Irish Aid annual reports and government data. It includes: Bilateral aid (direct country-to-country). Multilateral contributions (via UN, EU, etc.). Humanitarian assistance. In-donor refugee costs (mainly first-year support for Ukrainian refugees in Ireland, which became eligible as ODA from 2022 onward due to the war). Yearly breakdown (in € millions, total ODA including Ukrainian refugee/in-donor costs where applicable): 2020: €868 million. 2021: €976 million. 2022: €2.29 billion (includes ~€880 million in first-year Ukrainian refugee costs). 2023: €2.60 billion (includes ~€1.14 billion in Ukrainian refugee costs; excluding them: €1.47 billion). 2024: €2.35 billion (includes ~€627 million in Ukrainian refugee costs; excluding them: €1.72 billion). Excluding Ukrainian refugee costs in Ireland, the “core” ODA sent overseas or through international channels was lower and more stable until recent increases: roughly €0.87B (2020) → €0.98B (2021) → €1.41B (2022) → €1.47B (2023) → €1.72B (2024). The big jumps from 2022 onward largely reflect Ireland’s response to the Ukraine war (both refugee hosting at home and direct aid abroad).949dca Ireland reports ODA as a percentage of Gross National Income (GNI). It peaked at 0.67% in 2023 before easing slightly, with a long-term goal of reaching 0.7% by 2030. The programme is managed primarily by the Department of Foreign Affairs (Irish Aid) but involves multiple government departments.38dd34 Ukraine-specific figures Direct Irish government support to Ukraine (humanitarian aid, stabilisation/reconstruction, and non-lethal military aid such as medical supplies, body armour, and drone jammers) totalled approximately €467 million from the start of the full-scale invasion in February 2022 through early 2026. This is in addition to the separate Ukrainian refugee hosting costs counted in ODA above.da3c84 Earlier cumulative (to September 2025): over €380 million. Includes bilateral humanitarian/stabilisation (~€130–€174 million range in various reports) plus non-lethal military support. Ireland does not provide lethal weapons (due to its military neutrality policy) but has contributed through EU mechanisms and direct bilateral packages. Bilateral ODA to Ukraine itself was smaller (e.g. €33.9 million in 2024).ef22c4 Africa figures Ireland’s bilateral development aid (the part going directly to partner countries) is heavily focused on sub-Saharan Africa, which is the primary geographic priority for Irish Aid alongside some work in South-East Asia and humanitarian hotspots. No single official cumulative total for “all aid to Africa” over the exact 5-year period is published in the reports, but Africa consistently accounts for the large majority of country-specific bilateral allocations.ba3ae1 Examples from 2024 bilateral ODA (in € millions, showing the pattern): Ethiopia: 40.9 Mozambique: 26.1 Tanzania: 26.0 Malawi: 25.0 Uganda: 21.5 Sierra Leone: 19.0 (and similarly high figures for South Sudan, Sudan, Zimbabwe, Somalia, Zambia, Kenya, Liberia, etc.). In 2023, bilateral ODA to Africa was reported at around USD 292 million (roughly €270 million at the time). Humanitarian funding also goes to crises in the Sahel, Horn of Africa, Sudan, etc. Overall, Africa receives the bulk of Ireland’s targeted country programmes (versus multilateral/global pots).a37507 Note on the “corrupt” label: This is a political opinion. The figures above are straight from official Irish government & OECD-aligned sources ODA reporting follows international DAC rules (including refugee costs). If you want raw budget breakdowns, partner-country lists,or 2025 preliminary data,the annual Irish Aid reports on gov.ie/irish-aid are the most transparent primary source

@Fantom01010 @rtenews Where are those statistics published?

@IrishTimes 😂😂😂🤣🤣

Half a million march in London for ‘biggest ever’ protest against far-right, say organisers irishtimes.com/world/uk/2026/…

My heart is full today. We will take this breakthrough. RTÉ, The Irish Times, The Independent, Newstalk, county councils and others vilified us, accused us of spreading misinformation, and tried to tear us down. Georgina Heffernan stood apart. She published the truth. Natural Women's Council interview was also referenced. Article link in comments

🚨🇮🇪 Any comment @1Hildegarde ? You and your department do not have permission to indoctrinate our children. End of story, full stop. (Full article (unlocked) in comment section)

A new curriculum is being taught in EVERY secondary school in Ireland. It tells children that GENDER is not a biological fact but a FEELING. Most parents have never read it. This Mail writer did - and what she discovered may SHOCK you trib.al/9cV8Hz8

🚨 This is an absolute disgrace and a scandal! #UEFA has fined Crvena Zvezda €95,500 over this choreography! The largest portion €40,000 was issued for allegedly "displaying a message deemed inappropriate for a sporting event and for supposedly undermining the reputation and integrity of both football and UEFA itself". The message was: "May our faith lead you to victory". This is unacceptable! UEFA=👹

The loonie left are accusing Ryan Casey of abusing Ashling Murphy. They’re providing cover for foreign rapist and murders while attacking Irish people for having a different opinion. These lunatics have turned the whole country against them.

@KnigSunny @Colieg133742 O’Callaghan claims Ireland is safe yet government covers up/downplays the surge in sexual crimes including gang rapes linked to mass immigration. Their GOAL is to import more migrants at all costs. They see gang rape and attacks on women/children as an acceptable price to pay.

🚨BREAKING: Thousands of nationalists in Belgium took to the streets last night demanding Remigration The majority of Europe feels the same.

Belgium Citizens Protest as they DEMAND the Deportations of Third World Migrants. These Criminals invaded their Country with the support of the EU Tyrants that are hellbent on destroying their Country’s Sovereignty. The people have had ENOUGH

🎼🎼🎶I see Skies of blue 🎶 reds are screwed. 🎶and I think to myself what a wonderful world 🎶🎼🎼

The ferocious, merciless war on deranged woke, drooling libtard traitors, and genocidal paddystinian enablers has exploded in righteous fury. No more gutless, spineless, polite tolerance for these civilization-raping, Left-wing vermin and their rancid, soul-rotting delusions. ⚡

@OzzyJellyEllie @MariaWalshEU @cynimhurchu There is a major conflict of interest here. Barry Andrews wife is making Millions from illegal immigration.

A Swedish teen raped for hours by a group of immigrants. Gun in her mouth, then shoved into her v€gina. Clothes covered in blood. The doctors had never seen anything like it. Look at these bloodstained clothes… they’re hers. This kind of horror didn’t exist before mass immigration. And it keeps happening. Protect our daughters.

When so called Ukrainian "Refugees" are complaining about free accommodation, the Irish media highlights their Victim Nationality When the very same Ukrainian breaks into the home of a dead local man, and steals thousands, he's suddenly no longer Ukrainian but a "local man"

It seems People Before Profit @pb4p is full of supporters of Josef Puska, the layabout migrant living off welfare for years, who murdered Irish teacher Aisling Murphy in 2022. They are out to assasinate the good character of her boyfriend, Ryan Casey. x.com/i/status/20373…

This is @MattWaine1 who for a long time was employed as @RuthCoppingerSP's assistant. He is also an ex councilor and at one time and wanted, in his elected capacity, to use this position to replace the "offensive" Irish tricolour with "the red flag of Marxism and socialism" or "the pride flag". As this would be less offensive to foreign nationals (I'm sure muslims love the pride flag). He told Ryan Casey, whose girlfriend was stabbed 11 times in the neck by a Slovak Roma (who was a suspect in two separate sexual crimes in two different countries PRIOR to coming here and murdering Ashling) that he is a "cunt" who should stay in the US with "all the peados." Matt supports abortion to term, supports graphic sexual content being taught to children at school, supports graohic sex books about "blowies" and other graphic content being handed out to kids at libraries and he supports the medical "transing" of children. These people were all over the murder of Ashling Murphy BEFORE they realised WHO slaughtered her. Then there was silence, except for Ruth Coppinger saying that all Irish men were to blame. She also blamed Irish people's "homophobia" as inspiration for Yousef Palani castrating and beheading two gay men in Sligo and stabbing a third gay man in the eye. She never mentioned his Muslim faith or jihadist MO. NOR did she acknowledge that Ireland was the first country in the world to overwhelmingly vote in favour of gay marriage. They think they're better than you. Better than Ryan Casey.
