There was much upset in Ireland two years ago when there was some misappropriation of funding in Uganda. We thought it would change the mindset of the public who make a great contribution to aid, in particular for countries in need. The response of the Irish Government and the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade was swift and we were able to get that funding back. Does Ms Jorgensen think that could happen again in other programme countries? Was there some reason for selecting Malawi? Was it a random choice?
