European Union is the world's largest donor of aid

Retiring MEP Gay Mitchell gave a talk at Concern's offices in Dublin today.

He spoke about the importance of networking and how the role of the MEP is one of reaching accommodation.

The Fine Gael MEP is a member of the Development Committee of the European Parliament.

Over the last 10 years there has been a significant drop in the number of children dying as a result of malnutrition. Ten years ago 36,000 were dying every day. That figure has now been reduced to 13,000.

The European Union is the biggest donor of aid in the world.
