Government in Iraq must be effective and inclusive
Over €3m has gone directly to an international NGO called Mines Advisory Group (MAG), which is the lead humanitarian demining group operating in northern Iraq. The remaining funds have mainly beenallocated for UN relief work, care for refugees and displaced families, education, healthcare and emergency appeals.
Tánaiste and Foreign Affairs Minister Eamon Gilmore describes how Irish taxpayers’ money has directly benefited ordinary Iraqi lives. Mr Gilmore also says terrorists continue to attempt to destabilise the war-ravaged country but he pledges that Ireland will continue to aid Iraqis where it can.
