Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection
General Scheme of the Charities (Amendment) Bill 2022: Discussion

For example, let us say the Houses of the Oireachtas were a charity. A company named Paul Donnelly Publications contacts me to say it is circulating a calendar in the Roscommon area next December. It is selling advertising for it and the beneficiary of this is the Houses of the Oireachtas charity. It is selling advertising to me at €100 and clearly giving me the impression the vast proportion of the contribution I am making towards that advertisement in the calendar that is going to be circulated in Roscommon is going towards that particular charity. In reality, however, Paul Donnelly Publications is pocketing the substantial proportion of the profit being made-----
