Humanitarian Issues in Post-War Iraq: Statements.
The Minister of State mentioned the Madrid conference. I was glad that Ireland was represented at it and made funding available to humanitarian agencies, the Red Cross and NGOs as the need arises. People were critical of the pledges made in Afghanistan because those pledges are very different from cash. The conference, however, stated clearly where the money would go.
