Bogus charities and sub-prime mortgages
Ray Butler requests legislation on bogus clothing charities and sub-prime mortgage companies; Rabbitte treats both as serious issues and expects legislation by year-end.
When will the criminal justice Bill be published to deal with bogus charities collecting clothes in light of the documentary that was recently broadcast on this topic? It is not illegal to set up a bogus charity and go from door to door collecting clothes. Gangs are making serious money doing this.
Will the Government publish legislation on sub-prime mortgage companies? This is a serious problem. We are looking after those dealing with regular institutions but we really need legislation to deal with sub-prime mortgage companies.

Both of these are serious issues and I expect legislation will be published by the end of the year.
