Anthony Lawlor: Like previous speakers, I welcome the Bill. I have a couple of queries regarding Irish Aid. Will the 0.7% be included in the current budget? Will the Minister of State identify from where the funding for our membership of the organisation and for the various payments to be made to it over the eight years in the context of our full subscription will come? There is one thing that always...

Anthony Lawlor: First, I congratulate the Minister of State on his nuptials over the Christmas and wish him and his good wife all the best for the future.

There is no clarity with regard to objective 19, which refers to "economic or social need". It has been...
