Taoiseach can tell UN Ireland is honourable

In two weeks’ time, the Taoiseach Enda Kenny will travel to the United Nations in New York, to join other world leaders in a review of the global strategy to tackle the world’s biggest problems.

That strategy was agreed in 2000, and is based on eight goals to be achieved next year, in 2015.

The verdict is that the recipe agreed 14 years ago is working, but rich countries have not kept their side of the bargain.
