We remain committed to the fight against HIV/AIDS and other communicable diseases. Ireland has made significant investments in addressing the causes and the consequences of the HIV epidemic which have a terrible, and disproportionate, impact on women and children in Sub-Saharan Africa. I was very heartened to note the real progress, as outlined by UNAIDS last month, in overcoming the disease, notably a 52% reduction in new HIV infections among children since 2001. Our work has contributed to that progress. Much still remains to be done however, and we are committed to continuing our efforts to turn the tide on the pandemic.
