Every year, the Irish government give NGOs approximately €5.5bn.

€5,500,000,000

Five and a half thousand million Euros. Every year.

I thought I'd list a few things that could be done with this money instead. Feel free to add your own examples.

The National Childrens Hospital, with its bloated budget of €1.7bn?

We could build 3 of them, every year.

Instead, we give it to NGOs.
There's uproar over the planned €25m water rafting facility in Dublin.

We could build 220 of them every year with the money we give to NGOs.
€50k for a nurse for a year?

The money we give to NGOs would pay for 110,000 nurses at that pay grade. Every year.

€100k for a doctor? We could pay 55,000 of them.
We need to make noise about this, it has to stop.

We could have 11,000 Ryan Tubridys on €500k a year.

Jesus. 11,00 Tubridys, maybe the NGOs aren't so bad.
