I thank Ms O'Hara for her presentation. Ms O’Hara referred to funding. What is the breakdown of the $67 million in humanitarian assistance to those affected by the conflict in Syria? In what beneficial way is it being used? How many members of the Irish rapid response corps have been deployed to the Balkans or the Middle East to help UN agencies responding to migration challenges resulting from the Syrian conflict? How much Irish Aid funding has been given to NGOs, UN organisations and the Red Cross in partnership with local organisations to offer assistance to those affected by the Syrian conflict?
