Ireland has made a voluntary contribution to the budget of the International Labour Organisation for the biennium 1978-79 to help that organisation over its financial difficulties following on the withdrawal of the United States.
I understand that all the EEC countries and some other member states are also making voluntary contributions to the ILO.
