Are we as taxpayers responsible for other Irish people not being responsible enough to prepare for their own deaths?
Are you as a taxpayer prepared to pay more tax to pay the funeral and burial costs for Irish emigrants?
So why do we feel responsible for other nationalities and not our own. There was a thread on AAM a number of months concerning the €900 million handed over to overseas charities.
As a Taxpayer I have no problem with helping the emigrant Irish. I have paid for the dead Irish to come home when I lived in the UK and have done in the recent past to bring them home.
As soon as people realise that respect has to be given to the dead and stop living in denial and cloud cookoo land. A small bit of genuine charity never hurt anybody and yes, it does give one a feeling of contentment.
