Abstract
Since the mid-1990s, Ireland has been significantly increasing its bilateral and EU framework financial assistance to the Palestinian Authority. The majority of such aid falls under the direct state-to-state aid and emergency/humanitarian assistance programmes. This chapter first examines direct aid to the Palestinian Authority and places it in the context of EU-wide aid programmes. The chapter then proceeds to examine economic and social efficiency of Irish aid to the Palestinian Authority.
