Éamon Ó Cuív (Galway West, Fianna Fail)

I recalled to the House last June that the Law Reform Commission had published a consultation paper setting out proposals for the reform of charitable trust law.

The public consultation which followed was the second of two undertaken in relation to the preparation of draft legislation to deliver on the Government's commitment to regulate the charities sector. My Department has since been fully apprised as to the outcome of the Law Reform Commission's deliberations in this regard.

I understand from the Law Reform Commission that its proposals were largely welcomed and that its report is due to be published next year.
