Mr. Hans Zomer:

There are a number of questions, but the last one was particularly important. Yes, it is the European Year for Development, but why and who is in charge? Dóchas is the co-ordinator in Ireland for the 2015 plan of action. There are similar co-ordinators in the other member states. In most countries they are government gepartments, but in Ireland and a few other countries it is the NGO umbrella group that has been tasked to be the co-ordinator.
