I ask Deputy Collins to provide me with a copy of the letter. While I acknowledge the Charities Regulator has independent functions, I would like to see the letter that has been sent. I could then raise the matter with the regulator. A Charity Appeals Tribunal has also been established and I have finalised its functioning. It is independent in the performance of its statutory function. Any charity that is aggrieved can apply to the tribunal. I am not sure what moneys are being sought. If the Deputy provides the information, we will examine the matter to find out what is being sought and why. If there is a particular charity under investigation, that is one thing. If these are letters that are sent out on foot of something small, that might be another thing. If the Deputy provides me the information, I will raise it with the Charities Regulator.
