Letter to the Editor: Maintain Ireland’s continued commitment to helping world's most vulnerable

Ireland has a reputation of punching above its weight in terms of foreign policy and international cooperation, thanks in no small part to our long-standing commitment to global development. This is something we must continue to cherish and preserve.

As discussions to form a new Irish government continue this week, we, 31 leaders from the Irish Association of International NGOs, Dóchas, urge those undertaking talks to ensure Ireland’s continued commitment to helping the most vulnerable around the world.

Over the last two months we have again witnessed the extraordinary sense of community and giving across the country in times of crisis.
