I thank Mr. Drummond. I do not think it does anything similar now, but some years ago RTÉ produced a programme with Rodney Rice which was very informative. It covered different countries in Africa where Irish Aid worked.

I thank Mr. Drummond most sincerely for his presentation and his exchange with members which will be very valuable when the committee is drafting its work programme. In common with other members, I congratulate Mr. Drummond and his colleagues in his organisation on the great work in advocacy which it does in so many areas. If he could get some of the basic figures that he gave to the meeting here to a greater audience, it would be important in showing what the extra aid could achieve and what it would mean to so many people throughout the world.
