Why do all the Goal adverts on the radio sound like they're from the 1940s?

Is our contribution of nearly €1 billion from our taxes EVERY YEAR not enough for Foreign Aid?

Anyway let them at it, but ask them to consolidate, and the answer would be Nope, too many CEOs and staff from the myriad third world charities need their egos stroked.

A myriad is 10,000, or without being literal about it, people could read that to mean there are thousands. They are not even near being the largest sector in the charity organisations.

"The top five sectors in which Ireland’s 11,426* registered charities operated were: the advancement of education (5,982); community welfare (2,150); integration into society of those who are disadvantaged (1,570); relief of poverty or economic hardship (1,331) and community development (1,294)."

In case people might be wondering why there are so many educational charities. From memory of a previous discussion on Boards, if a school wants to run any sort of fund raiser, the law insists that they must register as a charity.
