Ms Dympna Hayes:

We have a blueprint which, if implemented, will go a long way towards delivering the societies we want in Africa and Europe. This is a universal agenda which is being adopted by every country. We are making a commitment to support developing countries to implement these development goals. Life is unpredictable and the world is a very unpredictable place. As such, in adopting these goals we have no idea what will the position will be globally in 15 years. We can only hope.
