Vote 28 - Foreign Affairs and Trade (21 Jun 2018) Catherine Connolly: That is the background. Within that background, Mr. Burgess mentioned Syria. I want to look at Syria, Palestine and Myanmar, formerly Burma. We are giving very small amounts of money to Palestine. I think the figure was €5 million. Can Mr. Burgess put that in context for me?

Vote 28 - Foreign Affairs and Trade (21 Jun 2018) Catherine Connolly: If I had more time, I would go into it. I refer to Burma, or Myanmar. What funding, if anything, has been given there? The reason I ask that is that I had the privilege, maybe a questionable privilege at this point, of giving the freedom of the city of Galway to Ms Aung San Suu Kyi in 2004, so I have a particular interest. I also want to ask a number of practical questions before I am stopped.
