I know the issue of passports is very important and that people have covered it. I want to deal with overseas funding. Our funding for overseas development from 2015 to 2020 went from €475 million to €548 million. I ask about checks and balances in place for that enormous funding. Priority emergency humanitarian assistance was €96 million in 2020. What are the checks and balances on the allocation of that funding? What is the process for deciding how to allocate the funding? It is a large amount of money.
