I thank our three witnesses for their graphic account of what is taking place in south Sudan and what can and should be done. We appreciate the work being done by Irish non-governmental organisations in South Sudan. Without focusing in on any region of South Sudan or the personnel of their respective organisations, do Concern, Oxfam and GOAL have security fears for staff working in the regions? Given the volatile circumstances in which they are working, this would appear to be an obvious fear.
