What happened in Busan was very important and the progress made there can be continued at the next meeting in Mexico.

I thank our guests for coming before the committee. We had an informative and useful discussion on the important work they do, which is all about transparency, openness and accountability. It is vital that the Development Assistance Committee should continue with its work. We look forward to the results that are expected in October and we wish our guests well in Malawi, where Ireland has a very good programme in place. I am sure they will return with good results from Malawi and I hope they will discuss matters with parliamentarians there. Parliamentarians are extremely important in the context of the role they play. We wish our guests well and hopefully some of us will meet them again later this evening.
