Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: General Scheme of the Charities (Amendment) Bill 2022: Discussion (5 Oct 2022)

Paul Donnelly: There are no additional requirements from the Charities Regulator in relation to the accounts. It is just simply when a company submits them, it is to the companies office. The Charities Regulator sends them to us.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: General Scheme of the Charities (Amendment) Bill 2022: Discussion (5 Oct 2022)

Paul Donnelly: Yes. It is funny because I was trying to figure out the definition of what is "political" and what is not. I am of the view that pretty much everything we do is political. How then do we come to a definition of what will be excluded as an organisation for charitable purposes? I looked at the document and there was reference to a youth group set up for migrants. The group was advocating...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: General Scheme of the Charities (Amendment) Bill 2022: Discussion (5 Oct 2022)

Paul Donnelly: I want to continue to play devil's advocate. I will say I have a charity, the constitution of which allows for raising funds for food and books for children and raising funds for advocacy to look at the root causes of why children are hungry and why there is educational disadvantage. Is there a danger that people who give €500 to my charity could state it was only to feed children...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (11 Oct 2022)

Electricity Costs (Domestic Electricity Accounts) Emergency Measures and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2022: Second Stage (11 Oct 2022)

Paul Donnelly: I echo the concerns that have been expressed about the members of the Travelling community and some tenants who may not see this money. I say to Deputy Ó Cathasaigh that the Sinn Féin position is that a price cap, as we have clearly stated, must go hand in hand with a windfall tax on the profits of the energy companies. While this Bill will be welcomed by many ordinary workers and...

Community and Voluntary Sector Workers: Motion [Private Members] (12 Oct 2022)

Paul Donnelly: I thank the Labour Party for bringing forward this motion. We will not have a community and voluntary sector if the pay and conditions of these workers are not dealt with, similarly to how the public service was dealt with. As someone who served as a member of a board for many years, I remember how, before 2011, people started off on the same pay. That link was broken and has never been...

National Vetting Bureau (Children and Vulnerable Persons) (Amendment) Bill 2022: First Stage (12 Oct 2022)

Paul Donnelly: I am delighted to co-sign this Bill with Deputies Daly and Cronin. I was a child welfare officer in my local GAA club, St. Peregrines, and I know the Minister of State, Deputy Chambers, was a child welfare officer in his club, St. Brigid's, in the same constituency. I am sure he understands the predicament and how difficult it is. I fully support and agree with the Garda vetting process...
