I thank both ambassadors for their detailed presentations. They mentioned the success that Irish Aid has had over the years, the challenges that lie ahead and the obvious opportunities for development. I am glad to note the reference that was made to our universities, particularly as Professor Walsh from UCD is still present. It echoes what was said so eloquently by Professor Walsh earlier.

I call on Deputies Darragh O'Brien, Maureen O'Sullivan and Seán Crowe to comment, and in that order.
