Prayer. 19/05/2021A00100Message from Seanad 19/05/2021A00200An Leas-Cheann Comhairle: Seanad Éireann has passed the Criminal Procedure Bill 2021, without amendment 19/05/2021A00300Ábhair Shaincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Matters 19/05/2021A00400An Leas-Cheann Comhairle: I wish to advise the House of the following matters in re- spect of which notice has been given under Standing Order 37 and the name of the Member in each case: (1) Deputy John Lahart - to discuss with the Minister for Rural and Community De- velopment the ongoing controversy surrounding the charity Bóthar; (2) Deputy Sean Sherlock - to discuss the need to include a waste waiver for individuals or families with disabilities in the waste action plan for a circular economy; (3) Deputy Ciarán Cannon - to discuss establishing a dedicated online portal to submit evidence of close passing of cyclists to An Garda Síochána; (4) Deputy Brian Stanley - to discuss the current difficulties in accessing the dental treatment services scheme; (5) Deputy Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire - to discuss the delays in processing pri- mary medical certificate applications; (6) Deputies Pádraig Mac Lochlainn and Rose Conway- Walsh - to discuss amending the defective concrete blocks grant scheme in Mayo and Donegal from 90% funded to a fully funded scheme; (7) Deputy Jennifer Whitmore - to discuss concerns regarding a “Do not consume” water notice in Barndarrig, County Wicklow; (8) Deputy Jenni- fer Carroll MacNeill - to discuss the review of the relationships and sexuality education curricu- lum in primary and secondary schools announced in 2018; (9) Deputy Aindrias Moynihan - to discuss the ongoing backlog of driver tests and driver theory tests; (10) Deputy Martin Browne - to discuss a review of the school transport schemes; (11) Deputy Thomas Gould - to discuss the lack of full-time vacant homes officers across the State; (12) Deputy Aodhán Ó Ríordáin - to discuss the threatened job losses in Baldoyle, which had notification of planned closure of two pharmaceutical plants; and (13) Deputies Paul Murphy and Bríd Smith - to discuss the issue of provision of hot school meals in schools� 300 19 May 2021 The matters raised by Deputies John Lahart, Sean Sherlock, Paul Murphy and Bríd Smith, and Thomas Gould have been selected for discussion� 19/05/2021A00500Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate 19/05/2021A00600Charitable and Voluntary Organisations 19/05/2021A00700Deputy John Lahart: I thank the Minister of State for his attendance� This story is not finished but the catchcry of “Are we there yet?” is one that is very well known to Irish people. Bóthar would be perceived as one of the more earthy charities� It is one to which I have contrib- uted myself over the years because there was always a tangible output, or at least that was the perception� Instead of just sending money, there was a tangible result from the contributions the public made, namely, the charitable contribution of live animals and other agricultural produce and materials to developing countries� The premise on which the charity was founded, and on which it succeeded and caught the public’s imagination, is that Irish people could finance the sending of a cow, a sheep or a goat and that it would make a manifest difference and impact on the lives of local communities in developing countries� We have been here before with charities like Console� We thought that was the end of it, that corruption within the charitable sector was over and would never again be tolerated, that it would be much easier to root out and that charities would be subject to much more intensive interrogation, oversight and regulation. However, we find ourselves back at the same point again, not due to the corporate outlook or objectives of an organisation but because of the greed of a few� The Government must give some response to try to reassure the public� As we know, it is often those with the least who give most and over the years people have donated small, or sometimes significant, amounts to such charities. They did so with the best will in the world, as part of an ethos in this country that goes back to our connection to suffering and hardship and our empathy for those who have to endure the same kind of suffering and hardship. It is a crushing blow to people to discover that when they made that gesture and gave to people in countries less developed and less well off than our own, the organisation mediating those funds had within it corrupt and greedy people who would go to great lengths to corrupt the funds, and to cover their tracks in the process� The issue itself has been well publicised in the newspapers, including the secreting away of significant funds by members of Bóthar and the payment of bonuses to staff. I would like to know what contributions the State made to this charity, whether through the Minister of State’s Department or the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, over the years� I look for- ward to his statement on the matter� 19/05/2021A00800Minister of State at the Department of Rural and Community Development (Deputy Joe O’Brien): I thank the Deputy for raising this very important matter� The Charities Regula- tor, under the aegis of my Department, is the State organisation responsible for registering and regulating all of Ireland’s charities, with a mandate to promote good governance practices� It is important to note that the regulator is fully independent in the performance of its statutory functions, including investigations into the activities and conduct of charities� All registered charities in Ireland and their trustees are subject to the provisions

Mark Ward, Jennifer Whitmore. * In éagmais / In the absence of Senator Lynn Ruane. I láthair / In attendance: Deputy Thomas Pringle. Teachta / Deputy Kathleen Funchion sa Chathaoir / in the Chair. 1 JCDEI Business of Joint Committee Chairman: We are in public session. Senator Higgins is substituting today for Senator Ruane, and we have no apologies. Before we begin, I request that members sit only in the permitted seats and in front of avail- able microphones to ensure they are heard. This is important as not doing so causes serious problems for broadcast, editorial and sound staff. I remind those present to please maintain so- cial distancing at all times during and following the meeting. I ask those members participating remotely to keep their devices on mute until they are invited to speak. When speaking, I ask that cameras be switched on where possible and for members to be mindful that we are now in public session. In addition, I remind members of the constitutional requirements regarding the necessity for members to be physically present within the confines of the place where Parliament has chosen to sit, namely, Leinster House, in order to participate in public meetings.
