- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Benefacts Project: Discussion (13 Feb 2018)
Alan Kelly: I was listening to the commentary. I imagine a member of the public would not be able to distinguish between the role of Benefacts and that of the Charities Regulator. I have had an interest in Benefacts for some time. As the representatives of Benefacts are aware, I raised questions about the organisation in my role as a member of the Committee of Public Accounts.
