Overseas Development Aid: Motion.
Senator Norris was right that we all want to reach the targets. If we do not reach the targets, it will not damage the Government, but Ireland's credibility in the long term. World security will also be affected because everyone gains when the levels of poverty are reduced in developing countries. More people will die if less is contributed by the Government than previously indicated.
