USAID funding cuts have had a devastating impact on Irish aid agencies working in developing countries, according to documents seen by RTÉ News.

The documents also reveal the cloud of uncertainty that has overshadowed Irish non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in the days and weeks following US President Donald Trump’s executive order to freeze and terminate foreign aid funding. […]

Hundreds of redundancies have been reported across the Irish aid agency sector and development projects in countries such as Sierra Leone, Somalia and Syria have been significantly affected.

GOAL and Concern were the largest recipients of US government funding, with annual income of €103 million and €58.3 million from USAID respectively. Trócaire received €1.38m from USAID and Self Help Africa received €308,000.

According to the documents, GOAL’s Turkey-Syria program was most impacted as 85% of it is funded by USAID.

Trócaire had USAID grants in Somalia, Sierra Leone, Honduras and Malawi, and the largest impacts have been felt by several of their local partners, some of whom are up to 80% funded by USAID or UN programs funded by USAID.

As a result of the funding freeze, Self Help Africa decided to pull its services out of three African countries by the end of the year.

Concern confirmed that it has lost over €20 million in funding from the US government. …

This is how the Irish gov’mt betrayed the Irish people and imported savages to kill little Irish kiddies. And, when Irish folks rebelled by burning down the USAID-funded hotels housing the savages, the Irish gov’mt used their Gestapo police depts to jail the citizens.

It is all entangled.

It is the NGOs that have turned Ireland from the most Christian country in Europe to a seething mess of abortions and LGBT pride all over the place, plus foreign immigration overwhelming small traditional villages, with the Garda arresting and jailing any native Irish who object to immigrant violence.

If they are Irish NGOs why don’t the Irish fund them?

Because George Soros beat them to it. "Flipping" Ireland has been one of his dearest projects, and it started almost 20 years ago with abortion and gay rights, which had both been against Irish law until he dug in there with his Open Society bullcrap.

Samantha Power - remember her?

Yes, she was born to Irish parents in London, and after "serving" with the Obama Admin became the head of USAID. Wicked, wicked Soros puppet.

Would suspect that actual Irish citizens are unaware of the NGO funding source, just as the ‘regular Irish’ are surprised at the Plantation Invasion of their country. And wouldn’t be surprised if the invasion funding suddenly disappeared once the USAID spigot gets turned off. Win Win Win

All NGOs in Ireland exist to replace native Irish with third world violent trash. Ride the subway in Dublin and you’d think you were Africa.

I’m guessing you mean the light rail, because Dublin has no subway.
