This goes to a matter that I have raised repeatedly on the Order of Business, that being, the publication of the Red Cross (amendment) Bill. Recent media reports suggest that all may not be well within the Red Cross, which emphasises the need for legislation on addressing governance issues to be introduced as a matter of urgency. I am particularly conscious of the fact that the secretary general and directors of finance and communications of the Red Cross have resigned recently. What is the Minister’s feeling on these resignations and will he reassure the public as regards the governance systems that are in place in the Red Cross, which spends approximately €900,000 of taxpayers' money at home and more abroad?
