Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence

Famine in Africa and Yemen: Médecins sans Frontières, Oxfam and Concern

9:30 am

Mr. Feargal O'Connell:

Mr. O'Loughlin described Somalia as a forgotten crisis. That is the issue and we need to take that angle on it. Essentially, all of these crises are forgotten. What can we do to elevate the profile of Somalia? How can Ireland leverage its moral authority on all of these issues to bring these crises back to the top of the agenda at the top tables in all of the international forums? That is how to take the issue forward.
