Richard Bruton (Dublin North Central, Fine Gael)

I wish to piggy back on Deputy Rabbitte's amendment to discuss the points raised in my amendments Nos. 15 and 16 which have been ruled out of order as they do not arise out of committee proceedings. I understand that some of those involved in charities believe the sections on charities, as drafted in the Bill, could be excessively onerous on trustees and others involved in charities. That is the context in which amendments Nos. 15 and 16, which sadly are out of order, were put to me. Perhaps the Minister might have access to a note from officials that could be put on the record and would advise charities that their fears are unfounded or that the matter is under consideration for the future.
