I use this opportunity to present to the committee the 2018 Supplementary Estimate for Vote 27 - international co-operation. When the Taoiseach launched Global Ireland, our strategy for doubling the scope and impact of Ireland's global footprint and influence by 2025, the Government also committed to achieving the United Nations target for overseas development aid of 0.7% of gross national income by 2030. Thanks to the extraordinary efforts of the Irish people, our economic recovery is now well established and we see real benefits through increased resources to our public services.
