Charities Bill 2007: Committee Stage
1:00 pm
John Curran (Dublin Mid West, Fianna Fail)
That is the point. I have spoken to many of the groups and they genuinely believe there would be a change in their tax status and that revenues would accrue to them that they would not otherwise get. That is not the case. As I emphasised at the beginning, we are trying to maintain the status quo. I have a great sympathy and passion for sport, but the Bill reflects the status quo. I am conscious that we have a mandatory review because I suspect circumstances will change substantially over five years.
