I join in the calls for debates on Northern Ireland and overseas development aid. There was an all-party agreement on a motion supporting Ireland achieving 0.7% of GNP in overseas development aid by 2007. Some months ago, the sub-committee on development co-operation, of which I am Chairman, passed a similar motion. I hope that this all-party support will encourage the Minister of State to achieve what we all want.
