Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: UNCRPD and 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development: Discussion (11 Oct 2023)

Brian Leddin: As GNI has changed over the years, has the percentage always increased? In the event of a downturn in our economy and GNI going down, and if the funding holds up at 0.39%, in real terms it will become a bigger percentage of GNI. Because it is real money that matters to the work Irish Aid does, what we would not want to see in a recession scenario is that the percentage could go up but that...

Brian Leddin: Finally, Chair, if I may, is there any parallel commitment to the 0.7%? It is the real money that matters.

Brian Leddin: It is just very important to know. Even if the percentage were to stay the same but the economic situation were to continue to stay strong or even to improve in real terms, there would be more money for overseas aid, and that would be fine. In the alternative situation, however, where there is a downturn and we are looking only at the percentage, in real terms it is less resources and less...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Road Safety (5 Oct 2023)
