Question 123: To ask the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs the timetable for the Charities Regulation Bill 2006; if he still expects the Bill itself to be published during 2006; if he has received further feedback on the general scheme of the Bill from the charities sector; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I refer the Deputy to my reply to Questions Nos. 66, 75 and 99 of 21 March 2006.

The position is that Government approval of the General Scheme for the Charities Regulation Bill 2006 has been secured and the Scheme has been published on my Department's website www.pobail.ie; priority drafting of the Bill is under way in the Office of the Attorney General; I would hope that this should facilitate publication of the Bill during 2006; and the feedback from the charities sector has continued to be favourable.
