Vol. 451 No. 3
45 Mr. Power asked the Minister for Finance if his attention has been drawn to the concern expressed by Irish charity organisations regarding the implications of the tax relief extended to designated Third World charities; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6566/95]
46 Mr. B. O'Keeffe asked the Minister for Finance if he intends to make tax relief available to Irish charity organisations similar to that extended to those designated to Third World charities. [6567/95]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 45 and 46 together.
I have met with a body representing domestic charities to discuss the relief announced in the budget in respect of designated Third World charities. I explained the reasoning behind the decision and that I do not intend to extend the relief to domestic charities.
