Charities Bill 2007: Committee Stage
1:00 pm
John Curran (Dublin Mid West, Fianna Fail)
The legislation is such that activities that are advanced as charitable purposes would have additional reporting responsibilities that do not apply at the moment. Charities have been unregulated in the broad sense for a long time. We are trying to preserve the status quo and to recognise the situation as it is, knowing that it is evolving. That is the reason for the mandatory review within five years.
