We are donors from multiple sources for countries in need and do not just contribute via the Irish overseas programme. We also supply funds to the United Nations which has a target. Our rate is a bit off it. Is it only the ODA budget that goes towards the UN target, or do we take into consideration the fact that we fund the United Nations which also spends Irish taxpayers' money on behalf of the international community?
