- Charities Bill 2007: Report Stage (Resumed). (5 Nov 2008)
Michael Ring: I move amendment No. 98: In page 64, between lines 27 and 28, to insert the following: 86.â(1) It is an offence for a charity to conduct public fundraising without holding a valid permit. (2) The form and operation of the permit system shall be determined by the consultative panel provided for in section 34 (1).". This amendment relates to people known as "chuggers". I am not very happy...
- Charities Bill 2007: Report Stage (Resumed). (5 Nov 2008)
Michael Ring: My amendment represents the way forward. If the superintendent or the Garda or a panel were there and an existing charity had a collection on a day, a second charity would need to apply to the superintendent for its permit. He would make the decision whether these two charities should work on the one day. I hope something can be done. For me this is the one issue relating to charity that...
- Charities Bill 2007: Report Stage (Resumed). (5 Nov 2008)
Michael Ring: It is important that charities be represented on the authority. We do not want it filled with political appointees only interested in drawing expenses. The legislation is new, but people have been crying out for regulation for years. We want people interested and involved in the sector. We also want people from outside the sector to give the authority necessary advice. For too long,...
- Charities Bill 2007: Fifth Stage (5 Nov 2008)
Michael Ring: I thank the Minister and his staff for their many long and courteous briefing sessions on this complex legislation. I also thank Ãine Kilroy for her assistance. The legislation was first introduced in the House last December and Committee Stage was dealt with in January. We encountered many problems with this complicated legislation in terms of obtaining legal advice. I welcome the...
- Charities Bill 2007: Report Stage (Resumed). (5 Nov 2008)
Michael Ring: A serious issue must arise before a decision is taken to remove an organisation from the register. I am concerned about the recommitted amendments. While I am not a legal person, I hope they are in order and do not make it easy for the regulator or someone else to remove a charity from the register. This must only be done where serious offences or breaches in the law have taken place....
- Charities Bill 2007: Report Stage (Resumed). (5 Nov 2008)
Michael Ring: I am pleased the Minister of State has gone a long way on the issue of clothing collections. RTE will this week broadcast a programme on these types of collection. It is a scandal that people, in their generosity, place clothes outside their homes in the belief that they will be collected by a charity whereas the recipients, businesses in eastern Europe, are making millions of euro from the...
- Charities Bill 2007: Report Stage (Resumed). (5 Nov 2008)
Michael Ring: I welcome the promise that the Minister of State will return to the Attorney General to see if there is any way to cover the issue. Deputy Barrett covered the issue well and got to the nub of the matter. The church has a role to play. We need to take the Del Boys out of the sale of mass cards. I agree with the Minister. We are not complaining about the shops, but about people paying for...
