“While €2 billion has been allocated for 2023, the government has earmarked €2.5 billion for 2024. Meanwhile the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform has told The Sunday Times it estimates €1 billion was spent in 2022, bringing the total spend to €5.5 billion.”
Over 3 years – obviously a shit load of money but still good context to have.
That 4.5 billion will do a lot of good
Article fails to mention the EU contribution to Ireland for taking on these refugees.
2024 headline…
“Ireland has €4.5bn surplus from refugee support budget”
I should open a hotel, anyone have a lend of a big building and lots of money?
