Charities Bill 2007: Committee Stage
6:00 pm
Jerry Buttimer (Fine Gael)
On the section, I want clarity on an issue concerning organisations, such as Respond, that enter into contractual agreements with Government agencies like the Health Service Executive. There is a reference to indemnity insurance in the Bill but we need a commitment that voluntary directors or trustees will not be caught up in a situation where Government agencies, city councils or county councils renege on commitments given. We must have a clearer commitment than that.
