Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection
General Scheme of the Charities (Amendment) Bill 2022: Discussion
Paul Donnelly (Dublin West, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source
Again under head 3, I refer to the definition of a member of a charitable organisation. A company limited by guarantee does not have shareholders, it has members so there is a view that the definition should include the term "or member". There is always confusion between a director and a member of a charity. Some people who join boards do not understand the difference where they are sitting on the board they are de facto legally responsible even though they are not a director. That may need a little more clarification. Will I go through the items one by one and we can come back?
