Seanad debates

We must also recognise that poverty breeds terrorism and ensure that wealthy nations recognise that by tacking inequality and injustice in the world. My experience as Minister of State with responsibility for overseas development is that this is an issue that should never be ignored. We should recognise the significant divide that exists between the rich and poor, the developed and developing worlds, as well as issues such as debt relief and trade and development which underlie much of the growth of inequality in the world. These are the complex issues around this conflict which we must not ignore.
