Humanitarian Issues in Post-War Iraq: Statements.
It was sad to note that, while the US Senate voted for $87 billion in aid to be given to Iraq, most was to be spent on armaments. When they had to cut back on items, it was not on stealth bombers, but a children's hospital. We must be careful where our money is going because Irish people look on this as an important issue. I congratulate the Minister of State on what he is doing and he has support from all sides of the House for his efforts.
