Thank you very much, Mr Gaffey. It goes without saying that the work undertaken by you and your colleagues in this aspect of Irish foreign policy is much lauded by the committee. We strongly support your work and we are very pleased to ensure annually that positive and active consideration is given to increasing funding on many of the projects undertaken by you and your colleagues. We are very pleased that you have an opportunity to brief us on the small island states issue.
