On Wednesday, it emerged that the Government has handed over €2.3 million of taxpayers’ money,
since 2022 alone, to the world’s leading pro-abortion group, International Planned Parenthood
Federation.
The public would be none the wiser that this abuse of taxpayers’ money was taking place were it not
for TDs like Carol Nolan asking sharp and relevant Parliamentary Questions on an ongoing basis.
In a statement by the Pro Life Campaign after the reply to Deputy Nolan was released by the
Department of Foreign Affairs, Eilís Mulroy said: “It is astounding that the Government has funded
the leading international abortion provider to the tune of €2.3 million since 2022. Planned
Parenthood is the single largest provider of abortions in the US. In addition, many of its practices are
deeply questionable. There is credible evidence that Planned Parenthood has been involved in the
sale of the body parts of aborted babies. Meanwhile, its international affiliate International Planned
Parenthood Federation is the main supplier and promoter of abortion worldwide.
“Funders of International Planned Parenthood have used the excuse in the past that IPPF doesn’t
just carry out abortions but also provides other services like antenatal and postnatal care. But that
excuse is nothing but a smoke screen. The truth is that IPPF is first and foremost an abortion
provider. Instead of even consulting the Dáil beforehand on such a controversial decision, the
Government pressed ahead with shelling out this vast sum of taxpayers’ money to fund abortions
overseas.
“If the goal was to fund maternal healthcare and safety for women during pregnancy in developing
countries, the Government could have very easily donated to groups that provide such excellent
care to women and babies in pregnancy. But instead they decided to donate to a major international
abortion provider with an appalling record in human rights and in respecting the right to life. There
needs to be an urgent debate in the Dáil on this matter and the way in which taxpayers’ money is
being spent.”
Commenting on the reply she received to her Parliamentary Question, Deputy Carol Nolan said:
“content with directing millions in taxpayers funding to abortion and ending innocent lives here in
Ireland, the Government is now actively blurring the lines for abortion access abroad and promoting
an ideology that is inextricably linked to its practice. How much death is enough?”

There is an uproar when OPW spends €330,000 on a bike shelter and the National Gallery of Ireland spends €120,000 ( I think) on a picture scanner that has not been used for 7 years but nothing about €2.3m being given to an abortion provider since 2022. This is a clear attempt to suppress information and is an outrage.
This payment was not made in my name and I ask Prolife to please use all means to get as much publicity as possible around this funding
I am disgusted with the Irish government for giving taxpayers money to fund abortion services.
I am very upset to think that our government is giving our tax money to fund Abortion l don’t want that blood on my life how dare they why can’t they give it for housing
They will pay with awful things happening them and their families
Because if you support murder you have blood on your hands
Flabbergasted.

Absolutely criminal increasing the crime rate in this country of authentic unborn Irish or other citizens This is the lowest of the low. To make it even worse , if that were possible, the Irish citizen has to actually pay for this blasphemous behaviour against their own but much more importantly against God our Creator who created all of us out of love. This requires a referendum to consult the Irish taxpayer as to how they want their taxes used re true health care for all unborn & newborn & ante/post natal mums & all children
Why am I not surprised 🤬. Sure if they’re hell bent on enabling it on their own doorstep, why not support it internationally also. 💔
This is a disgraceful use of public money.
