Overseas Development Aid.
3:00 pm
Conor Lenihan (Dublin South West, Fianna Fail)
I welcome the Deputy's question. There is no element of subterfuge in the information pack. I indicated in an up-front and honest manner, within a month of being appointed as Minister of State with responsibility for overseas development, that the Government could not achieve its target of spending 0.7% of GDP on overseas development aid by 2007.
