We dealt earlier with the point that arose concerning Respond. We amended it on the recommendation of the Law Reform Commission. I would make the point that we cannot have trustees and directors who are involved in charities being treated somewhat differently from the way the law already treats them. There is a substantial amount of other law that deals with the roles and responsibilities, but what we did do, which did not exist previously, was allow an indemnity system specifically for the trustees of these charities. It is not necessarily for the individuals to pay for themselves; it can be funded through the charity. It is an important aspect because as we sit here, there is no such possibility for them.
