Mr. Ruair? de B?rca:

We do not put them under the banner of Irish Aid. The trading relationships are bilateral and do not come in under the aid relationship. The aid programme is about much more than Africa as well. In 2020, aid went to about 137 countries worldwide. We have aid programmes in Latin America and the Mekong Delta, for example. The colleagues who work in Africa know those countries very well and in depth. We do not tie our aid. One of the things we do is invest in countries in order that they can increase their economic activity. Within that, because the countries are growing, there are downstream market opportunities for Ireland as well, which is good because it helps them grow their economies.
