Vol. 572 No. 6

Written Answers. - Proposed Legislation.

Brian O'Shea

Ceist:

87 Mr. O'Shea asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs the reason for the delay in the publication of the promised consultation paper on proposed changes in the charities legislation; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24045/03]

I am pleased to update the Deputy on the progress achieved in the intervening period since the information to which he refers was given to the Dáil on 25 June 2003. A draft consultation paper on establishing a modern statutory framework for charities was prepared in early July 2003. Subsequently an interdepartmental consultation on the draft was undertaken. A revised draft of the consultation paper is being prepared with a view to submission to Government and early publication.
