John Curran (Dublin Mid West, Fianna Fail)

I acknowledge Deputy Ring's contribution. It is realised and acknowledged that many trustees are professional people with skills. There may be complex issues to be dealt with that are not trustee services but additional facilities. Often, these people provide the services at less than the going rate. It is of benefit to the charity. It is not that trustees should be paid for trustee service work, it is for other activities and, in the main, the charities are the beneficiaries because they receive a service at a reduced rate.
