I thank Ms O'Hara sincerely for her very detailed and comprehensive presentation and her responses to members' questions. I am very glad that Enda O'Neill, head of the UNHCR's office in Ireland, was able to join us for this presentation as well. I wish Ms O'Hara and all her colleagues in her organisation every success in the very important work it does on behalf of the most disadvantaged people throughout the world. We know there are unfortunately so many countries and regions needing the UNHCR's assistance. We sincerely hope the Governments of the world and the international community in general will be generous enough to act as donors for the amounts that are required to try to ease the plight of the most disadvantaged people in the world today. I repeat that we wish the UNHCR continued success in its work in very difficult circumstances.
