I never met so...

Vote 29 - International Co-operation (20 Dec 2012) Paschal Donohoe: One of the points I have noted in the report is that the office of the comptroller and auditor general in Uganda had been experiencing difficulties in accessing information within the office of the Prime Minister prior to discovering this issue and that information had been in the public domain.

Vote 29 - International Co-operation (20 Dec 2012) Paschal Donohoe: Perhaps my earlier statement on the environment in which people were operating was overly bleak. Despite the huge progress being made, it is important to recognise that these are extremely difficult places in which to work, with real challenges from a governance and administrative point of view. Ireland is operating within that environment and from what I have seen, I am absolutely...
