I agree it is important we have reporting and I suppose it is important the reporting is proportionate to the type and scale of the operation of the charity. It is a point Senator Buttimer made previously and I want to reiterate it because it is very important. We are regulating an area that has been largely unregulated. The role of the new authority, apart from being a regulatory authority, is also to be supportive and helpful in that regard. That is key. Passing the legislation is only the first hurdle, but the role of the authority most definitely must be a supportive as well as a regulatory role.
