Ms Helen Keogh:

As Ms Cooper stated, World Vision staff go out to see what is happening for themselves, often in very dangerous situations.

I would like to reiterate some of the points that have been made. The people in question deserve to live in peace. In that regard, we would be very grateful for any intervention the Irish Government could make as it is not our place to intervene in that way. We are there to help the people who are suffering, but it would be wrong for us not to allude to it. We are very grateful for the extra funding that has been made available, but this is now a forgotten issue. Last year everybody was talking about South Sudan, but nobody is talking about it now. We really feel very strongly that we must highlight and focus attention on the issue in order that a remedy can be found. We are in it for the long haul.
