Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence
Pre-budget Submission from Dóchas and Global Food Crisis: Discussion
Ms Jane-Ann McKenna:
I thank Deputy Brady. I will defer to my colleague Mr. Byrne on the impact of the funding cuts. One of the effects we are seeing is with the suppliers to the World Food Programme. The ration portions are getting smaller and what is being distributed is getting smaller. It is getting more expensive to give the same amount of food. This is directly impacting people on the ground.
