Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Charities Regulatory Authority

Ms Ciara Cahill:
Under section 41 of the Charities Act 2009 it is an offence for an unregistered charitable organisation to carry out activities such as fund-raising. We are confined by what the legislation states. With regard to where the line is crossed, I believe it very much depends on a case-by-case basis. Certainly, at this time we would not be able to say generally what that situation would be. It would depend very much on the case at hand.
