I will return to a previous point Mr. Donoghue made about making the public aware. He was at this event while 17 October is the UN's International Day for the Eradication of Poverty and the organisation All Together in Dignity has an event at the famine statues. Many of those involved in projects in the north inner city and south inner city that work with extremely poor, marginalised and vulnerable people gather there and are remembered. There is a link between their stories and sustainable development goals and they really try to make people aware of real poverty and what it means.

I thank Mr. Donoghue for attending, for the amazing CV that we all got a copy of and all the work that he is done, which is rewarding, frustrating and challenging but extremely positive.
