Minister Lectures on Poverty Eradication
Minister of State Conor Lenihan will visit TCD on March 1 to lecture on the role of the private sector in eradicating poverty On Wednesday, 1 March in the second of a series,
the Department of Economics at Trinity College, Dublin in association with the Institute for International Integration Studies presents
‘Millennium Development Goals’ Lecture #2:
‘The Private Sector and Poverty Eradication’ by Conor Lenihan T.D.
‘Halve, between 1990 and 2015, the proportion of people whose income is less than $1 a day’
Target 1: UN Millennium Development Goals
Throughout the world 1.2 billion people live in extreme poverty on less than one dollar per day. In sub-Saharan Africa and southern Asia alone, over 40% of the population are living below the poverty line. 800 million people - over one-quarter of them children – are suffering from chronic malnutrition.
In the second in a series of lectures, the Minister of State at the Department of Foreign Affairs with Special Responsibility for Overseas Development & Human Rights will discuss the role the private sector can play in achieving the first Millennium Development Goal: Eradicating extreme poverty and hunger.
At the lecture, Minister Lenihan will launch the publication ‘Meeting Global Development Challenges: How Can Ireland Contribute?’ The result of a high-level conference held by IIIS at Trinity College in 2005, this publication explores some of the contentious issues that must be addressed in drawing up Ireland’s development cooperation strategy. Edited by Frances Ruane, the proceedings of the conference include a contribution from the highly controversial Danish Speaker, Professor Bjorn Lomborg, author of The Copenhagen Consensus, who has been a strong public critic of the incoherence of many western countries’ development strategies, designed to “make people feel good, rather than do good”. Other contributions include Myles Wickstead, a key author of Tony Blair’s “Commission on Africa” report, Mary McClymont, former head of InterAction NGO alliance in the US, and James Mackie, who has written extensively on the challenges of evolving a coherent development strategy at EU level.
All are welcome to attend the Minister’s lecture, which will be held at
6 p.m. in the Walton Theatre of Trinity’s Arts Block

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3This is outrageous! Under the guise of Humanitarianism, Lenihan is supporting yet another Neo-Colonialist exploitation of the Developing World. Lets go along to this sham and protest: stand up when he starts to speak. Speakup and roar on behalf of The Wretched Of The Earth!
Believed in free speech and would never have advocated roaring a speaker down. Besides Lenihan is as entitled to advocate private enterprise as a solution as leftists are to advocate socialism. Neither have exactly saved the developing world from hunger.
Lenihan has launched attacks on all the Non Governmental Development Aid Agencies. Hes paving the pathway for handing over Development Aid to private companies. This is tied in with the EU Services Directive. Dont let Lenihan get away with this.
