Charities Bill 2007: Report Stage (Resumed).
5:00 pm
Ciarán Lynch (Cork South Central, Labour)
Charitable organisations should only be struck off the register for profound and identifiable reasons. If a charity which is struck off has a board of directors, will some form of tracking be used to ensure the organisation does not submit a new application to be included in the register under a different name? While I take on board Deputy Ring's concern to ensure organisations are not removed from the register on the basis of prejudice, if a rogue group operating on the pretext of being a charity is removed from the register, how will we ensure it is not included on the register again under a different guise?
