Annexe A, the overview of Ireland's spend, speaks of €657 million or 0.5% of GNP in a table. On the side of the €414 million bilateral funding, that block of money goes to programme countries, civil society, emergency humanitarian, etc. Is the Secretary General satisfied, apart from the earlier discussion but in the case of the other blocks of funding, that there is a sufficient audit trail and good practice in place governing each and every sum in each of those allocations?
