Neasa Hourigan: I am not sure of the language in terms of where we do not have a consulate, but we have a trade presence.

Neasa Hourigan: It would be very useful if we could have clarification on what we are referring to as sub-Saharan Africa. I am not asking for it now, because it might be a very long list of countries. I only have two minutes left and I just want to put this to Mr. de Búrca. As he said, the development is Irish Aid.
