Charities Bill 2007: Report Stage
6:00 pm
John Curran (Dublin Mid West, Fianna Fail)
I move amendment No. 2:
In page 8, line 12, to delete "that applies" and substitute the following:
"that, under its constitution, is required to apply".
Reflecting on the existing wording, it was noted that a scenario where, for example, a charity was unwittingly the victim of internal fraud by an employee or trustee and some of the property of the charity was being applied for the personal gain of that individual, the charity as a whole might be technically in breach of the Act through no fault of its own. This amendment removes any such possibility.
