Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

In the way it was structured, I seem to recall there was some issue with levels of payment to the senior officers of charities or section 38 or section 39 organisations. Two and a half thousand section 39 organisations is quite a sizeable database for the HSE to manage, and harvesting that information consistently is certainly a challenge for any organisation. That is probably where the value would be for a body like the HSE or Tusla to be able to get an overview of those organisations they were dealing with.
