It is unacceptable that Irish taxpayers' money should be filtered off to satisfy the economic requirements of the tinpot dictators and unworthy regimes in these countries. If it is possible to bypass corrupt regimes which indulge in the business of baksheesh and backhanders, we should look at increasing our commitment to NGOs such as Trócaire, Concern, GOAL and others, all of which have done wonderful work. They can give us value for money. I accept there is a political dimension and it might sometimes be essential that we deal with governments but we should monitor these situations as closely as possible.
