Michael Ring (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I agree with Deputy Higgins. It has proven difficult for the Minister of State to draft wording to address this issue properly. As Deputy Higgins stated, no one wants an organisation that supports a cult over human rights and uses charitable funding other than in the public interest to be a registered charity. While the Minister of State and the Department have tried to draft wording to address this issue, I am concerned that their amendments will not solve the problem. I support Deputy Higgins.
