I don't think, here in Ireland, that ordinary people on the street realise yet, that our political class have welcomed the entire globe to live here and have ZERO intention of sending any home.
Simple Simon and our government has allowed Roma to enter our country from EU countries and illegally claim social housing and social benefits against EU laws. That’s how absolutely useless these people are. Just implementing EU laws would allow them to deport Roma!
Simple @SimonHarrisTD is going to be Busy & we've heard this shite before
Apart from the 6.5k on Jobseekers Allowance 10+ years , there's also the 32,949 #Knackers & 16,059 Roma permanently unemployed.
Good luck with that Simple Simon

Infuriating.
I run a youth mental health charity which pays for young people who are struggling to skip waiting lists and access private therapy quickly.
Suicidal teens and young adults are otherwise being put on waiting lists - for months - due to lack of resources.
We're two years old and neither myself nor any committee member has taken a penny.
No wages, no expenses.
We've zero overheads - 100% of funds raised are spent on therapy services.
How much do we get from the Government?
Zero.
We're a charity - an NGO - so we get lumped in with the likes of this.
Professional form fillers who get hundreds of thousands of euro thrown at them for activities that don't even proport to help the Irish people.
Waste is not victimless.
There needs to be a bonfire of these organisations.
Strip every one of them down to zero.
See how charitable these charities are then.
Charity of the Day! Akidwa , or to give it its full name Akina Dada Wa Africa Company Limited By Guarantee
We try to be upbeat with these Tweets but sometimes you feel like putting your head in your arms and crying.
Its latest filed accounts show €765,716 of income in 2024 along with a note reference 4.1 but alas note 4.1 just repeats the same figure with no analysis. There is an analysis over several pages which suggests taxpayer income from six government schemes is €522,000, there is no analysis of non-govt funding.
That suggests that €244,000 comes from other sources. Akidwa says it spends €207,749 on "activities for raising funds"
It has 10 staff but didn't apparently record any PRSI in 2023. What's that about?
Whilst it hasn't published its 2025 accounts yet, it has provided a summary to the Charity Regulator which says its income for 2025 was €987,823 of which the taxpayer provided €811,000. This is a charity which had income of just €255,429 in 2021 of which €196,000 was from the taxpayer. Its taxpayer funding has QUADRUPLED in four years.
There is no analysis of salaries by band. The CEO is Salome Mbugua who we last saw out and about in 2024 protesting when the DPP didn't take any action against Gardai who shot George Nkencho in 2021.
What does the charity do?
"advancement of education and the relief of poverty by setting up a drop-in centre to relieve hardship for women immigrating, particularly from the Continent of Africa into Ireland by providing information, counselling (including therapeutic services for survivors of war, FGM, torture and other forms of disempowerment to women) and social friendly facilities."

Where are the ~31,500 asylum seekers (excluding Ukrainian beneficiaries of temporary protection) living?
Response to parliamentary question last week shows the breakdown by 123 local election areas.

Table below is alphabetical by county, and then most to least asylum seekers in the county.
However, this is just for those in State accommodation IPAS centres, it excludes private housing which is playing an increasing role, especially as the asylum minister Colm Brophy is evicting 5,000 from IPAS centres after they have been granted asylum.

MATT TREACY finds Tom Felle was styling himself as a Doctor a year before he claimed his PhD was awarded. The media expert on ‘disinformation’ who RTÉ says faked his doctoral qualifications, is an assessor for Coimisiún na Meán, opining often on immigration.
