Overseas Development Aid: Motion.

 

I suggested there is something dangerous in this, even supposing that we were to accept what the Taoiseach said, that he would jump up the figures in the last year. There is an immense management challenge for the people administering this. If one starves an organisation of funds and suddenly dumps a load of money on it in the final year, one neglects that these processes should be allowed to be grown organically, allowing them to develop on a steady curve. Otherwise, one creates practical implementation difficulties for other people.
