Sir, – At a time of rising costs for all of us, it is high time the Government re-evaluated its flaithiúlach spending on activist NGOs. For instance, the National Women’s Council in 2021 received €1,139,544 in total income – with 84.5 per cent of this coming from public funding. That’s €962,791, footed by the taxpayer, to a campaigning organisation which is increasingly radical and unrepresentative of most women.
The NWCI’s activism is tied up in extreme agendas like pushing for the removal of any gestational limits from Ireland’s abortion law and forcing transgender issues into all spheres of life, including the education sector.
When organisations like the NWCI try to push an extreme polarisation in Irish society, it begs the question why we, the taxpayers, are funding its astronomical running costs (mostly big salaries) to the tune of approximately €1 million per year? – Yours, etc,
