I wish to raise a crisis issue of which the Minister is probably aware. This morning, Deputy Maureen O'Sullivan and I met the Dublin representative of Concern to discuss the flooding in coastal Mozambique and southern Malawi, which are both programme countries, as the Minister knows. Approximately 200,000 people are now completely homeless and have lost everything. GOAL and Concern are both working on the ground there. They had a specific request that, if at all possible, we release some of our non-food supplies from Accra or Dubai. I do not expect him to reply now. However, I am raising it because it is a crisis, and perhaps he could come back to us. I do not expect him to respond now.
