I am happy to have the opportunity once again to update the Dáil on the progress of the Ireland Aid review. The Ireland Aid review committee's last meeting was on 24 January 2002. It is now in the final stages of its work and is completing its report and recommendations. The report will be published in the near future. I expect it will be debated fully in the Oireachtas in due course and will also be the subject of scrutiny and debate in other forums.
