A MAJORITY of Irish people believe overseas aid remains important despite the State’s economic crisis, a new survey suggests.
The poll from Ipsos MRBI, commissioned by Dóchas, an umbrella group of more than 40 development organisations, found that 85 per cent of respondents rated overseas aid as “important” or “very important”.
