Government spend on accommodating Ukrainian pets

I asked if the Tánaiste was happy with oversight of spending in the Department of Integration now and when he was Taoiseach, when it paid to accommodate pets from Ukraine, given his insistence, earlier today, on “efficiency and value for money” on cancer care spending.

oh his "humanitarian" stories must go down so well at whatever dinner party he can get into. The smugness, the utter contempt he has for this country and its indigenous people.

Will the government stop spending taxpayers money now on pets.

Feel free to burn our money

Martin is despicable

Keep asking those questions... Another problem with pets coming in is the Quarentine issue... The dept had to just drop the rules on Animals being Quarentined because they were so overwhelmed by the number. This is a risk to our agriculture as if farmers aren't already under pressure. No farmers and no fish =famine.

Unbelievable

[@emmetwalsh2097]

Just an example! A one-off lack of oversight? I don't think so. If this pet spending is going on, imagine the lack of oversight on the really BIG stuff. Did someone say 'children's hospital' ? Oh! But there's a very moving exhibition in Kyiv. Spare us the lecture headmaster.

but the Ukrainians must still maintain their White Privilege Throughout their Oppression, just like the TDs tell us the Irish did, do they not? Or is it one rule for the Irish and another rule for other European people fleeing conflict from a neighbouring military power..

If you think that is bad. A foi to the dept of social protection in 2022 inform me that the audited accounts for recipients of invalidity pension for 2019 20 21 totalling 2.1 billion do not exist or cannot be found, I was trying to ascertain the percentage of self employed getting the pension. Pointed this out to Louise o really local sinn fein td. She promised to raise this issue with Heather humprys at Dail question s however when asked for an update forgot our meeting in her office........wtf

First i am not on the left and thought this politician could actually be genuine. However, this man is as pretentious as the government we have in power. This man is making insinuations and innuendos regarding our government but has like the rest acted like a Gombeen politician instead. This man is a wolf in sheeps clothing. People should be very cautious voting for this man

Meanwhile poor animals in Irish shelters are being put down due to lack of resources. They are despicable.
