Vol. 372 No. 6

Written Answers. - Official Development Assistance.

19.

asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs whether it is the intention of the Government to publish a White Paper on Official Development Assistance; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

My Department's Annual Report on Assistance to Developing Countries provides comprehensive information on all aspects of Ireland's Official Development Assistance, and this is supplemented by regular statements by me and by the Minister of State at my Department, who has special responsibility for development co-operation. I do not therefore, consider the publication of a White Paper a matter of priority, though I will keep the question under review.
