Michael D Higgins (Galway West, Labour)

I move amendment No. 5:

In page 9, between lines 21 and 22, to insert the following:

"(a) A body which is part of the executive branch of Government,".

The purpose of this amendment is to ensure that core public bodies are excluded bodies under the Bill and, therefore, do not constitute charities. The Minister of State undertook to examine this matter on Committee Stage.
