The Tánaiste may be aware of significant delays with applications for charitable status to the Charities Regulator. A number of entities in Kildare are awaiting a decision, including Newbridge Community Development CLG, which started the process in February 2021. There is also the issue of Ó Modhrain Hall and those awaiting funds through the cy-prèsscheme. I tried to ask a parliamentary question but it seems there is no accountability to the Dáil. Will the Tánaiste make inquiries and provide the resources needed to help the team in the Charities Regulator to deal with the backlog?
