Ordinary sensible people in this country will be revolted by this.

I ask for a debate on charities, particularly in the light of an all-party recommendation to the Minister for Finance, which will be discussed by the Fianna Fáil Party, to introduce legislation to re-direct credit card duty away from the Exchequer to charities. It would be a good and efficient way to support charities. It might mean we would not have so much of what is termed "chugging" or charity mugging on the streets of Dublin.
