Why is the Irish Taxpayer paying for religious Genital Mutilation of Children ?

In 2011, more than 2,000 paediatric circumcisions were performed in acute public hospitals in Ireland. The procedure is available in most public hospitals and, if carried out in such a setting, there’s no cost to parents. If performed privately, parents can pay in around €900. The majority of male paediatric circumcisions carried out here are culturally motivated.

That link is from almost 8 years ago . Imagine the current and future costs of child abuse such as this in a recession. Thats money which should be going to the genuinely sick

How dare they demand the Irish taxpayer to pay 900 euro a pop for this ? And how dare the Irish government fund this ? The public cost is even more. And why is unnecessary genital mutilation even legal never mind paid for by my taxes ?

Is the Irish government that afraid of Islam that it has to pay for this ? How does it make any sense for our secular country to fund the non medical unnecessary genital mutilation of children ?
It seems to me a huge principle was given away a few years ago which could backfire big time in future costs and future concessions leading to total submission. A massively important principle for a secular society.
