That may be something we can do here with regard to Sudan and other places. Ms de Barra mentioned that the alliance's organisations were involved in 20 disasters internationally last year. It is certainly right that there is more than one at any time. Many of the organisations have their own fundraising abilities and mechanisms. Does Ms de Barra see the alliance taking over from those in time, is that where things are going? Trócaire raised, correct me if I am wrong, €93 million last year and Action Aid €3 million plus and so on. The total income of the alliance was approximately €1.4 million? Can Ms de Barra give the committee some figures?
