Overseas Development Aid: Motion.

 

We are all pleased to be able to say that Ireland's contribution is improving all the time. I applaud the Minister of State, Deputy Kitt, because it is quite evident that he has not gone in for histrionics today. He has been very calm about the issue and committed in what he has done. One can sense his compassion, which reflects the views of the Government and society. We should stick to the present programme we have. Certainly we should co-operate with the NGOs, but I do not think Kevin Myers will fill a single bowl for a single person in Africa as a result of what he wrote last July.
