IRELAND HAS HANDED over €5 million and announced a further €2.5 million to help Syrians affected by the country’s five-year civil war.
Foreign Affairs Minister Charlie Flanagan made the announcement today after meeting the EU Commissioner for Humanitarian Aid Christos Stylianides.
The €5 million will go towards the EU’s humanitarian response to the crisis. The €2.5 million will be paid out in humanitarian assistance through the UN and the Red Cross.
Flanagan said that his talk with the Commissioner had increased his concern about Syria, particularly the besieged town of Aleppo.
He said he was committing the funding to “enhance Ireland’s contribution to meeting the challenges the people of Syria face in accessing food, water and health care”.
“This will bring our total contribution to the Syria crisis since 2012 to over €62 million.
“Ireland remains committed to the delivery of humanitarian assistance.
Every evening on our television screens we see the human toll which the unprecedented number and scale of humanitarian crises is taking, particularly in Aleppo right now.
“There is an onus on all of the international community to do what we can to help alleviate this human suffering and Ireland will continue to play its part.”
Last year, Ireland spend around €142 million on humanitarian aid across the world.

40 years old is a bit misleading. To nerds sending a mail in a lab? Think i got my first mail in 1995
Yeah and it was well after that that it became adopted widely enough to be of any use for marketing. Plus, let’s not forget that email marketing only works in tandem with functional online stores, which didnt really exist until the late 1990s (eg Amazon’s IPO was in 1997, and it didn’t make a profit until 2001).
Pats full of Sh#t

I’m innocent I tells ya… I’m flabbergasted… Never in all my years. Millions of letters of support.
Find facebook too restrictive. Its great if your just a big brand wanting image and logo, but if your message wants to get your USP’s across and a phone number, then facebook needs to broaden its protocols. Its obviously designed to suit facebook, and yet there’s more freedom with a street billboard. Perhaps fit the nerd at facebook read Ogilvy’s ‘Confessions of advertising man’ he would discover learn how the industry works . . Emails, brilliant. they fall into the format of the worlds most oldest format of advertising; the editorial style.
Surely those figures are skewed, considering email newsletters are something you have already showed an interest in,bought something from in the past, or was recommended by a friend, so therefore you would be more likely to buy from?
How do you get someone on your email list? Facebook Adverts and Adwords, so social is important. Doesn’t sound like he tested Facebook ads with their great targeting. Email probably is the most effective, but it’s isn’t free, you need a good CRM to do email properly,
You just need a list. Why do you think so many stores are asking for email address when you buy products
If it’s just a list and not relevant to you when you receive the email, then you will just deleted it. Newsletters via email are now tailored to you based on your needs and trends/buying habits. Under Armor for example used to just send out generic emails offers. Now they can customize and change them as they have a lot of data on you.
