That is mind blowing and something we would like to have the opportunity to examine to see if dividends are being paid in Ireland or whether Ireland Inc. is benefitting from that because it is certainly concerning.

In the minute I have, am interested in countries that the witnesses' organisations are trying to help - those that are vulnerable and disadvantaged - and to which they are trying to bring some type of health and education. What is the relationship the NGO on the ground and the government there - because we know there are corrupt regimes? I want to try to understand what control some of those corrupt regimes have over the money that comes in. Obviously there have to be protocols, etc., but I would like to get a sense of that relationship.
