Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 19 May 2004
119 Ms B. Moynihan-Cronin asked the Minister for Finance if the charitable status of an organisation (details supplied) has been or is being reviewed; if concerns have been raised about such status; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14719/04]
View answerI am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the organisation in question was granted charitable tax exemption in 1979 and continues to hold such exemption. The Revenue Commissioners have also informed me that bodies which are granted charitable tax exemption are subject to periodic review with a view to ensuring their continued compliance with the terms of the exemption. However, it is not the practice of the Revenue Commissioners to divulge the names of charities which either have been or are being reviewed by them. Similarly, it is not the practice of the Revenue Commissioners to divulge whether or not concerns may have been raised with them in relation to the tax-exempt status of any particular charity.
