Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade
International Conference on Financing for Development Briefing: Dóchas
10:00 am
Mr. Sorley McCaughey:
Yes. The conference would be an opportunity for the Government to recommit to the 0.7% target, for example. That is probably a more realistic expectation. It is a question of follow-up and the adequate resourcing of the secretariat of the FfD to hold countries to account to what they say in Addis Ababa. That will probably be an obstacle but it will also be an opportunity, if adequately resourced.
