I received telephone calls from people who were travelling to Greece who thought they might be affected. I suspected that was not the case, but I could not be definitive. However, that was not enough for those who had sought the information and they wanted proof.

On Vote 27 and the Comptroller and Auditor General's report, overseas development assistance, ODA, was approximately €725 million in the year under review. There was another €485,000 approximately in the Vote. There is also a reference to a figure of €240 million from other sources. I think it was said the figures were included in Irish Aid's annual report. Will somebody send us a snapshot to show from where the other figure comes? Who is responsible for publishing Irish Aid's annual report?
