I noted that €2 million in the Vote under foreign aid was unspent and returned to the Exchequer. I understand that may happen where something that is intended to be done does not happen. Was there a specific reason for the return of that €2 million?
We hear repeatedly about commitments made internationally when humanitarian crises take place. Those commitments are not always honoured. Is there any profile of those commitments being made by Ireland but not honoured and, if so, what are they?
