Overseas Development Aid: Motion.

 

The Estimates for 2003 include a provision of €373 million for international co-operation under Vote 39. This is part of the ODA assistance administered by Ireland Aid. The Estimate is an increase of €33 million over the Ireland Aid figure of €340 million for 2002 but there is no real increase. We are simply replacing the €32 million which was cut from Ireland Aid's budget for 2002 so, in fact, there is no real gain.
