#NGOs
This focus on "NGOs" is such pathetic yankbrain shit. Whatever happened to moaning about quangos??
A recent ad on consent produced by the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre is one of a number of 'warning signs' regarding the use of public money by external organisations, said Simon Harris jrnl.ie/7210067

This is the inevitable outcome of so many NGOs being reliant on HSE and other departmental funding.

tbh it’s entirely unsurprising for ngos to do anything possible other than pay people fairly

weird he doesn't say which NGOs specifically

Wait till Simon finds out that ag lobbyists like the IFA, ICMSA are also non-governmental organisations, or NGOs, will he be demanding more control on them too?

Nah, guys like him only ever punch down.

So, SF are in favour of censorship of NGOs? State funding of NGOs to be conditional on govt approving their messaging? What part of Non Governmental Organisation doesn't he get? Guess I'll have to write another email to a local TD.
SF’s Matt Carthy says he deleted his social media post about the DRCC consent ad because of the pile on the Rape Crisis Centre was getting.

However, he still believes there should be a “review” of ads from organisations in receipt of taxpayer money.

I wonder why we need NGOs in Ireland? Could it be because the government doesn't want to actually do anything hard itself, and would rather throw a few euro at a bunch of charities and strut around on the basis on that? Surely not!

The right wing whistle of 'NGO's. Which NGOs are they not happy with? The GAA? Cancer care west?
Or is it just the environmental ones and now the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre.
I hate this attitude!!

Talking about controlling NGOs is a bonkers thing to say generally, but for a leader of a county to say it in the context of the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre video about consent, it goes beyond just dog whistling to the far right...

Restoration is under way at an unprecedented scale.

Around 252 million hectares are under restoration 🌎, the largest documented restoration effort to date.

How far have we come, and how far is there to go?

In der Statistik sind das natürlich rechte Straftaten.

Also nach linker Logik mehr Geld für NGOs und AfD verbieten. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Can't be having those NGOs being all non-governmental can we.

Fantastic work from @vwtireland.bsky.social
in collaboration with local government departments, agencies, local authorities and NGOs.
#BatWeek Ireland’s first-ever #SpeciesActionPlan for the lesser horseshoe bat set out an ambitious roadmap to protect and conserve this rare species over 5 years (2022–2026). We look forward to sharing our lessons at the inspiring #LIFE+PodkowiecTowersProject Closing Conference next week in Poland.

The wealthy and the far right despise NGOs because they cater for those they hate - women, children, people of colour, Travellers & others marginalised folks they see as inferior to them.
Harris knows exactly who he is whistling to here, but the access-obsessed political media will not call him out.

the continuous demonisation of the community groups and civil society orgs who do so much to hold this country together is authoritarian and antidemocratic. FFG want to use the purse strings to pressure and control NGOs and they can't be allowed to get away with it

Das ELSC ist übrigens im Prinzip eine PFLP-NGO, siehe dazu ngo-monitor.

European Legal Support Center (ELSC) - ngomonitor
ELSC is a pro-BDS legal organization that advances anti-Israel lawfare and political advocacy in Europe, supports campaigns targeting Israel, and works with Palestinian NGOs linked to the PFLP.

Noch mehr rassistische Abschottung und Gewalt: "Brüssel will die Agentur Frontex mit mehr Personal und neuen Befugnissen ausrüsten. NGOs üben an dieser neuen EU-Grenzpolizeitruppe heftige Kritik."

It's not the first though. Roderic O'Gorman moved to chill NGOs before the Care Ref.

If the Government wants deep and detailed control of what grant funding is used for by NGOs, it could consider maybe providing the many services the NGOs provide itself.
October 30, 2026 at 3:22 PM
it is actually a distinct escalation to go from attacking individual NGOs (normal) to the entire sector (alarming)
October 30, 2026 at 8:04 PM
All the people on Brendan O'Connor show are pretending that human rights are radical left wing extremism. Consent=extremism, NGOs =all left extremism, French protestors =extremely left extremism, State interference in NGOs =good (Putin agrees) Very young people= extremists (may not like hugs)

Pan-Islamism and jihadism reject national borders as obstacles to their caliphatist ambitions. Many recent worst mass atrocities and genocides have been done by Islamist extremist movements and regimes, not by the “Western colonialists” who are blamed in universities, NGOs, and liberal governments.
