NGOs/Charity sector at it again. No oversight, how much is actually going missimg from the 9.6 billion allocation this year vs actual services

The very fact there’s an investigation here is evidence that there is oversight and that it’s working. You know, the exact opposite of what you say.

What kind of an ā€œadvisorā€ was this cunt ?

Sounds like it

Michael D Higgins has returned €2.6m to the Exchequer over the course of two terms as President.

His successor, Catherine Connolly, said during the election campaign that she would not take the full €350,000 salary as UachtarĆ”in, but would make donations to good causes. She offered no specifics.

Mr Higgins said he returned €384,467 under a ā€œ1938 Allowanceā€ in his second seven-year term, in addition to €238,443 in his first term, while gifting €2m to the State in pay and pensions over the course of his presidency.

The €2m Mr Higgins gifted to the State comprised €1,310,491 in Oireachtas and ministerial pensions and €689,474 in pay over the last 14 years.

Combined with the returns of the 1938 Allowance, these figures represent a total €2,622,875 to the State over his two terms.

I think @flattythehurdler and others owe an apology here.

Aw Jaysus

I’d have been a critic but that’s a wonderful gesture, more than a gesture.
