Mr. Joe Lynch:

This concerns a donors' charter, which Camphill Communities Ireland has. I am not sure whether the trust is bound by legal responsibilities but if a donation is made to a charity for a specific purpose then it has to be used for that purpose. If they donate to buy a vehicle for Camphill Communities Ireland that is not an issue but if they donate a vehicle for Colm Burke in Camphill Communities, and only Colm Burke can use it, that is ring-fenced. One can, however, make donations and we have received donations from families and friends who have given €50 or €100 to Camphill for any purpose, including paying wages,. If it is for a specific purpose, however, it may only be used for that purpose.
