Vote 27 - International Co-operation (Revised)
Vote 28 - Foreign Affairs and Trade (Revised) (28 Mar 2019)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: As with the last allocation the funds seem to be staying the same. One of the international organisations to which we contribute is the UN.

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Subhead D3 deals with promoting Ireland. Given the year we have had with Brexit, not to mention the years to come dealing with the same issue, I would encourage greater funding for such programmes. I have found that investment in promoting Ireland abroad pays huge dividends, even if it does not come back directly to the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. Our international standing is...

I am around long enough to remember the...

It requires action. One of the actions in the motion is to set up a committee of the Houses to ensure delivery, which has not happened thus far. We are talking about Irish citizens.
