Question 53: To ask the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs the prospect of the Charities Regulation Bill 2006 being before Dáil Éireann before the end of 2006; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22750/06]

On the 9th of March of this year I announced Government approval of the General Scheme for the Charities Regulation Bill 2006 and its publication on my Department's website, www.pobail.ie. The Government also agreed that the General Scheme should be sent to the Office of the Attorney General for priority drafting.
As I informed the House on 21st March, I hope that priority drafting should facilitate publication of the Charities Regulation Bill before the end of 2006, though it must be noted that the General Scheme is a large and complex document, comprising 148 Heads and 4 Schedules.
