Does the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission, CCPC, have any role in this area? Does the Charities Regulator interface with it? Let us take for example an Irish private hospital that provides counselling services. It pays its taxes and is not a charity, just a private hospital. The company I mentioned, which provides bogus counselling, is pulling people away from this legitimately-run hospital and may be tax-exempt. Does the regulator have any role in that as there may be an uneven playing field, without mentioning the quality of service? I refer to people trying to get ahead of the game by getting charitable status and tax exemptions, thereby disadvantaging a legitimate company operating without charitable status. Does the regulator interface with the CCPC in such circumstances?
