Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 December 2004
61 Ms Lynch asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs the plans for the establishment of a league table of charities showing exactly the proportion of contributions that goes to each charity and the amount to the increasing number of commercial fund raisers collecting on their behalf; when new legislation on this issue will be introduced; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerIn response to similar parliamentary questions on this subject in October and November, I indicated that, as already signalled in the consultation paper on establishing a modern statutory framework for charities, the proposed regulatory body would be tasked with issuing performance reports on areas of the charities sector and that I would expect matters such as the publication of league tables would be a matter for consideration by the proposed regulatory body.
