Seanad debates

Wednesday, 26 March 2003

Senator McCarthy spoke about Operation Encounter, the special Garda operation to monitor urban crime. It can be included in the proposed debate on crime. The Senator also asked whether the €5 million for the aid package for Iraq was money which had been earmarked for use in another country. I understand there are discretionary funds for use in war-torn countries which can be used when the need arises. It has not been taken directly from funds set aside for any other country. The ODA budget is not automatically parcelled out under various subheads.
