Select Committee on Social Protection
Charities (Amendment) Bill 2023: Committee Stage

I thank the Deputy for making that point. This amendment responds to that critique of the published Bill. We are making sure that the definition is broad and that it facilitates what Dóchas is looking for. I will not say this is a direct response, but it is in response to a number of issues and concerns that were raised about how having specific lists would narrow things down. There was also the previous deletion that the Deputy mentioned. We have broadened it out again in this amendment.
