Overseas Development Aid: Motion.

 

I saw this in Lesotho at first hand when Ireland Aid headed support for the electoral process in that country. After years of instability, elections were held in May this year which resulted in a Government elected by and representative of the people. This will be a slow process and there will be setbacks in countries like Lesotho but we should stick with them and encourage them. Unlike Senator Ryan, I feel we can reach the UN target.
