Minister of State at the Department of Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs (Mr. N. Ahern)

I can confirm that the Government has now approved the publication of the Charities Bill 2007. The Bill itself is currently being printed and I anticipate that it will be published shortly after Easter. I have circulated an information note on the Bill to each member of the Oireachtas today.
