No matter how poor we think we are, we will never be satisfied with the amount of aid that we contribute because we are immensely rich compared to the poorest of the poor. Parts of the world are riven with disease, particularly AIDS which is spreading at the rate of wildfire, and we must at all times give everything we can to assisting other people who are less well off than us. We are probably doing the best we can. In our commitment to poverty reduction, we channel half of our overseas development assistance to least developed countries. This is the largest share among the 22 member countries in the OECD's Development Assistance Committee and contributes to achieving the millennium development goals. We maintain a long-standing focus on health and education and trying to combat the AIDS pandemic. A commitment in 2001 of at least $30 million annually to fight HIV and AIDS through multilateral, global, regional, national and community efforts supports Development Cooperation Ireland's mainstreaming of HIV and AIDS issues throughout the programme.
