I thank Mr. Clarken for his outline of a desperate situation. We arranged for Oxfam Ireland to make a presentation to the committee to try to get the message out to the public as well as we can and to create greater awareness of the threat of war, disease and hunger facing many people. When two thirds of the people in any country need humanitarian assistance, it paints a grim picture. I call Deputy Maureen O'Sullivan.
