Ms Jane-Ann McKenna:

I thank everyone for their questions and comments. It is great to have such an engaged discussion on this. I will ask Mr. Onisimus in Nigeria who is probably the expert on this to respond to Senator Ardagh. Under Irish Aid's policy for a better world, gender is a key area. Ireland has shown great leadership at UN level on promoting the inclusion of girls particularly on education and in other areas. Will Mr. Onisimus outline what he thinks Ireland can do on the direct attack on schools or to ensure that the safety of schools is protected?
