Conference voices concern at cut in Irish Aid Funding
Added: 9th June 2009
The Conference of the Methodist Church in Ireland notes with the greatest concern the disproportionately large cut (22%) made in Irish Aid Funding in the recent budgetary adjustment in the Republic of Ireland.
The Conference urges the Government of the Republic of Ireland
1. to review this cut
2. to resist further cuts in the interest of the poorest and most marginalised peoples of the world.
3. to remain resolutely on course for the target of 0.7% GNP towards Aid and Development by 2012
