Foreign aid

Anyone see prime time last night on about how much we give to africa and asia. Something like€600 mill a year. Most of which we have to borrow and ends up going to courupt governments and not the actual needy. Uganda alone spent most of the aid on wepons

Should the government continue to give that amount of aid considering we are struggling ourselves or at least give it to goal bothair etc.

i Watched primtime last nite and it was about cuts in the HSE for carers

Second half was about aid and how the money could have been used to cover the careers

Yea i seen that Doozer. Although i have sympathy for those places but surely its common sense to sought out our own country before we start looking after others. Especially after seeing the programme on before the frontline and the first half of the show.

I'm not saying take away the aid, i mean there is a big difference between struggling and dieing but surely how the money is spent should be looked at

Of course it should especially listening to most of the audience last night. Shame the government wouldn't provide anyone for the show.
