My question is supplementary to that of Senator Bacik. It is regrettable to see One Foundation coming to an end. Irrespective of the financial element, could the human resources and expertise the organisation has developed in terms of mentoring, leading, engagement and development be harnessed and retained for the betterment of the country in general?

On the principle behind the giving campaign that has been launched, the Irish are unique when there is a need for a meitheal effort. A partnership between the Government and organisations to really promote this aspect could bring the concept of philanthropy to another level.
