The account details would be there for the public at large to see, which may not be in the best interest of the charitable organisation. I question why it should be made public. People will make their donations in any case, regardless of whether they...

Paddy Burke: I support Senator Buttimer. The Minister of State at the outset said he was extending the composition of the board and that he would not prohibit local authority members from being members of the board.

Some matters may be very sensitive and if a person has a very good case, he or...
