The Government has announced it is to donate a further €1 million in funding to the victims of last year's earthquake in south Asia.
This brings the amount of relief funding donated by the Government €9 million.
The announcement was made as Pakistan marked the anniversary of the earthquake that devastated much of Pakistani-administered Kashmir.
Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf has led a memorial ceremony for the 75,000 who died in the region.
Mr Musharraf lay a wreath at a sombre memorial service in Muzaffarabad, the still rubble-strewn capital of Pakistani Kashmir.
In a speech to more than 1,000 people who had gathered for the ceremony, he praised the 'courage and resilience' of those in the region.
Mr Musharraf said he had ordered authorities to probe complaints of corruption by reconstruction officials, and announced that the government would write off loans that survivors had taken out to rebuild their homes.
With an intensity measured at 7.6 on the Richter Scale, the quake lasted less than two minutes yet destroyed the homes of more than 3 million people in North West Frontier Province and Pakistani Kashmir.
Slow reconstruction
Many victims are still living in tents or makeshift shelters with the government accused of being slow to dispense funds for reconstruction.
The aid agency Oxfam has said that up to 1.8 million people could be at risk over the winter. However President Musharraf has said those fears are overblown, he said just 35,000 people will be passing a second winter in tents.
Large areas of rubble still lie untouched in many areas, children are taught in tents or in the open air, and the UN has said it could take up to 10 years for the region to return to normal.
Mr Musharraf said this week that work to rebuild the 600,000 homes, 8,000 schools and 350 hospitals destroyed by the quake was progressing well, funded by $6 billion from foreign donors.
