Dominic Hannigan (Meath East, Labour)

More than 60,000 people work in the community and voluntary sector and they do great work in their local communities. However, they have a problem. Last week I met representatives of the Meath community forum and they told me that the cost of doing audits every year is eating into their limited funds. I understand the companies Bill will be brought forward and that there will be provisions in it to deal with the issue of audit requirements. When does the Tánaiste expect to see the Bill in the House and will it include issues in regard to audit requirements for voluntary companies?
