Note:
A total of 162 consultancy assignments etc. were commissioned by the Development Co-operation Division and paid for from the International Co-operation Vote during the period in question. A report of each consultancy is received within a month of completion of an assignment. As the purpose of the assignments is to assist with the review and evaluation of existing projects and to plan, design and prepare new projects under the Irish Aid Programme, the reports are not published.
Similarly, in relation to the remaining projects, any reports arising are for the purpose of assisting the internal decision making process and it is therefore not proposed to publish them.
