Lucinda Creighton (Dublin South East, Fine Gael)

I want to ask the Minister a specific question. We still do not have clarity and all the aid agencies are completely confused as to how their budgets will be affected and what specific programmes will be affected. They need clarity because they cannot plan. We have a targeted and professional system in how our agencies give assistance through various programmes and they cannot plan or operate on this basis.
