Brian O'Shea (Waterford, Labour)

In the wake of the events of 11 September 2001, did the Minister receive a request from the United Nations, which went out to member countries, to review the laws governing charities? The UN claimed that a number of charities were being used for fund-raising and money laundering for international terrorist organisations. If this took place, has the Minister had the opportunity to investigate? Has he concerns regarding the use of so-called charities in this country for that type of purpose?
