In closing I want to take the opportunity to record my thanks to my fellow Deputies, the Charities Regulator and all the stakeholders who have engaged with me and my officials and who have made very valuable submissions and observations as part of this wider, deliberative process. I also acknowledge the valuable assistance of officials in the Bills Office.

I reiterate that the purpose of this Bill is to strengthen the charities sector, ensuring greater transparency, clarity and fairness, which will serve to enhance public confidence in the sector and will consolidate the existing legal framework for the Charities Regulator to conduct its statutory functions. I look forward to bringing the Bill to the Seanad.
