Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade

Sustainable Development Goals and Targets: Irish Aid

10:00 am

Ms Dympna Hayes:

As Mr. Gaffey said, on 1 October things will not change. Implementation and how to drive the agenda will be key. There is a follow-up and monitoring element to this whole process. Even though the commitments are voluntary, there will be a way of monitoring how countries are doing in implementing the commitments they have voluntarily taken on. Nobody is forcing anybody to do them. This is a process countries have engaged in voluntarily and they are taking on the commitments because they want to create better, just and equal societies.
