I thank the Minister for his comprehensive overview of the situation as the Irish Presidency comes to an end. There has been a very strong focus during the course of the Presidency on development and world hunger. The conference organised by the Department in Dublin Castle, which was attended by Ms Mary Robinson, was very successful. The upcoming IAPA conference will continue the strong focus in this area. Our ongoing commitment in this area, both nationally and on the EU and international stage, is in line with our good reputation.
