Before I hand over to Deputy Mitchell, I will ask Mr. Niall O'Keeffe from Trócaire to say a few words about Trócaire's involvement in Guatemala. It would be important to hear that. I know that Trócaire's regional director for Latin America, Sally O'Neill, who is based in Honduras, is a trojan worker for Trócaire and has done great work. She rang me to tell me Mr. O'Keeffe was coming before the joint committee. I thank her for the work she is doing on behalf of Trócaire. It is great for an NGO such as Trócaire to be working in the Latin American region.
