Integration Minister Roderic O'Gorman announced "additional funding" to help "receive and accommodate" asylum seekers in #Budget2025. Asked how much the State has spent already on asylum accommodation since the start of the Ukraine war, he replied: "I can get that for you."

@Ben_Scallan Roderic O'Gorman: “I can get that for you.” Translation: “I will ignore your request.”

Why does he not know this already. I mean if he is being given additional funds it would have been based off how much was spent so far. Let’s be honest he knows and does not want to share the real figure in a media setting.

It's hard to hate a politician more than him, but Ireland really does have plenty of pricks to choose from at the moment. He should be deported along with every last "refugee"

😂😂😂😂 Ben is asking a question take a drink of water quick 😂😂😂😂

While #ryanair is prepared to assist Government with deportations…. The elephant in the room.!

People voted for Greens because of their concerns for the environment. In reality the changes the GP have brought are open borders and an aggressive pro immigration/asylum policy. A dangerous and warped sexualised ideology for school children. A party of 3% destroying Ireland

This is who @rodericogorman is 👇

Wait a minute, this is the most important issue in Ireland today and he doesn’t know? Not like it’s a small insignificant number. They’ve huge the welcome matt and every freeloader has or will be coming. Truly sad part is they don’t even know who many of these people are.

The money of the #Irish people being used for the old "international obligations" again.. What a complete joke of a government.. #IrishTwitter #Budget2025

A horrible man. Cromwell would admire him.
