Ms Suzanne Keatinge:

That is very welcome and we are at your service if we can help at all with those conversations. The committee should rest assured that the two issues of public awareness and aid effectiveness are very much at the heart of the conversation around this White Paper consultation. They are not forgotten at all. Coming back to the issue of awareness, I very much share members' concerns. We need to move from awareness as a public relations effort outlining what we do and who we are to a much more nuanced conversation about the impact of aid, why we do it and why it is so important to us in Ireland. That is the bit we are all struggling with. Everybody who has responsibility around public awareness needs to come together to think that though. Certainly Dóchas is taking that really seriously and trying to bring forward some ideas to help Irish Aid support us in that endeavour.
