John Curran (Dublin Mid West, Fianna Fail)

I will return to the specific issue raised by the Deputy because it was a source of a great deal of concern on both Second and Committee Stages. While this issue will be addressed, the provision under discussion has a wider application. As many of the so-called charities involved are not and will not be registered, they will be dealt with in a somewhat different manner and Members will come to the relevant amendment shortly. However, this amendment pertains to general provisions for any fraudulent or corrupt activity. These provisions are not specific to the issue raised by the Deputy, which will be dealt with in a few moments.
