"Establishing a Modern Statutory Framework for Charities" the Consultation Paper published by The Department of Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs

There will be a consultation period during which all affected parties are encouraged to make submissions. The Department of Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs is co-funding a series of nationwide information workshops which have been proposed and supported by the community and voluntary sector members of the Implementation and Advisory Group of the White Paper, Supporting Voluntary Activity.

Each information workshop is designed to:

• Explain the detail of what is proposed in the Consultation Paper.
