Charities Bill 2007: Committee Stage
6:00 pm
John Curran (Dublin Mid West, Fianna Fail)
The Senator needs to read the amendment. Political parties are not charities but they engage in fund-raising. They are subject to the various regulations and they need permits and so on to collect. However, they are not covered by the charities regulations. In other words, a local GAA club is not precluded from holding a fund-raising event.
