There are a number of references to the UK and to EEA countries in the context of the operation of charities. My query is specific to the operation of charities in the North where, for example, a 32-county charity may have an office in the North but is also operating in the South. I cannot detail them here but we must be aware of some of the difficulties that may pertain to charities in the North that are also trying to operate in the South. It is in the context of advertising, fundraising and all of those issues. If somebody is donating money from the Twenty-six Counties to the office in the North some clarification is required in the new legislation as to whether it is legal for the charities to do this.
