Vol. 573 No. 3
719 Mr. Cregan asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs if an application (details supplied) to the Commissioners of Charitable Donations and Bequests for Ireland will be processed and approved; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25209/03]
The Commissioners of Charitable Donations and Bequests for Ireland are appointed by the Government under the Charities Act 1961, with a mandate to provide services to trustees of charities and to carry out the intentions of persons making donations and bequests to charity. As the commissioners are independent in the exercise of their statutory duties, I do not propose to comment on the specific case raised by the Deputy. However, I have arranged to pass on the Deputy's query to the commissioners for their attention.
