Mr. Michael Gaffey:

As the Secretary General says, this took us by surprise and traumatised the embassy and Uganda. Ireland is now seen as an anti-corruption champion in Uganda. Over the past ten years, we delivered €2 billion to our programme countries. Those figures surprised me. As far as I know, we have not had a major fraud in that time. It is an enormous amount of money. As the Secretary General said, we must look at the skills sets we have and our management systems to deliver funding at that level.
