The committee witnessed at first hand the work done by the GAA when we visited Treasure Island GAA club in San Francisco earlier this year. That club is very thankful for the funding that the Department provides and the same can be said for many other emigrant groups.

As I want to spend more time on Vote 27, poverty and hunger reduction, I propose to take Vote 28, subheads C and D, together. Subhead C is reconciliation and co-operation on this Ireland and D is international peace, security and human rights.
