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. We seem to be paying in less, although in miniscule amounts. This seems to fly in the face of our commitments in terms of the UN and environmental degradation around the world. Will we expect to have to make larger increases to these international...

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...

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I was part of a parliamentary delegation visiting Washington recently.

It is for this reason we have the reputation around of the world of being a charitable people. The Minister of State will not hear any criticism from me on the issue of untied aid. I am around long enough to remember the...
