I understand that. On the section 39-type organisations, many other organisations get grants from the Government such as organisations in the voluntary sector. I am sure an element of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul's funding is State funding. I pick it as an example of a big charity but there are many other charities, such as Rape Crisis Network Ireland which provides a national co-ordinating role. It gets some element of its funding through Tusla but it would have a lot of private funding. What of the local sports club which might get an operational grant? Where do we draw the line given the partly funded concept extends to nearly everyone?
