Overseas Development Aid: Motion.
I have seen the good work done in Lesotho. In 2002 we were the most significant aid contributor to Lesotho, just ahead of China. I do not know if that is still the case. Similarly, we established an aid office in East Timor which, when visited in 2002, was an absolutely beautiful but devastated country. The Taoiseach was deeply impressed by the aid situation there, to which the Minister of State devoted so much of his speech.
