The table below relates to funding provided by my Department which is returned as Official Development Assistance (ODA). As you will be aware Ireland, as a member of the Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Development Assistance Committee (DAC), must report, on an annual basis, a detailed statistical analysis of total Official Development Assistance (ODA). This composite return, which is co-ordinated by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, is usually prepared in the first quarter of the subsequent year and accordingly the official figures for 2018 are not yet available. I have therefore included the figures for 2017 for my Department, the latest figures available, for the Deputy’s information.
