Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail)

The main point is that we are on target to reach the target of 20% of our overall budget being spent on hunger. The other point is that it is not just in that programme that the money on hunger is spent. In Malawi, for example, the entire programme is now focused on hunger, while in Tanzania, we have been asked by all the other donors to become the lead donor on agriculture. Notwithstanding the broader reductions, hunger has been identified and prioritised as the key issue for our programme. We have a clear international target to achieve that result and we are well on the way to achieving the 20% target.
