It is because the group is no longer active. We will ask Revenue whether there is a sunset clause involved when it comes before the committee next week. We will make a note of that. The first of the organisations with which the Charities Regulator has a lot of interaction that Ms Martin mentioned was Revenue. The regulator has quite a lot of dealings with it because of the financial side of things. That is why I thought Ms Martin might know about this. We will ask the Revenue representatives when they are in.
I have a few questions on the Charities Regulator's accounts. To follow up on what Deputy O'Connell said, we have heard about the investment policy the NTMA set with respect to tobacco and, a year or two earlier, the armaments industry. It has a clear policy. I believe the Courts Service has a lot of funds invested on behalf of wards of court and it also has a policy not to invest in those areas. Will the witnesses clarify the regulator's policy with regard to investing in those areas? Who manages the fund?
