Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

Referral to the Charities Regulatory Authority is not a matter for my Department. The functions of the Charities Regulator are set out in the Charities Acts (as amended). It is a matter for the Congregation to comply with any relevant regulations in relation to land disposal.
