I wish to talk about charity regulation in Ireland or the lack thereof. I cannot believe I am coming back to this subject. I wrote a report in 2012, I think, just to give colleagues a quick reminder. Do my colleagues know how much money the Government gives to charities in Ireland each year? It gives in excess of €4 billion. My colleagues should think of all the schools in Ireland and imagine if the students' copybooks were not marked. There is nobody in Ireland in the charity sector whose copybook is marked because we do not have a regulator. Are charities compliant with best practice such as codes of governance and fundraising? How efficient are the charities that receive public money? Are they measured or held accountable? The answer is "No". Does the Government have a database of charities? This is going well. The new regulator is getting there on a database, even though we had one before via Ms Patricia Quinn and INKEx, which we shelved before we started the regulator. We are building a new one. Does the Government know the combined spend on payroll, overheads or marketing in all the charities in Ireland? The answer is "No". The Daily Telegraph carried a story yesterday about a very high-profile charity called ShelterBox, sponsored by no less than the Duchess of Cornwall. Huge fraud has taken place. The boss of that charity has given his son endless contracts and business. There is absolute murder going on. In the Daily Mail last week we also had the RSPCA, Save the Children, the NSPCC and Oxfam all in before the regulator about aggressive fundraising and going after vulnerable people. Some €4 billion from all of the different silos and parts of government is being given out and there is no regulation. I do not have to remind colleagues about Rehab and the CRC. There are a few other small ones that have appeared in the newspaper and if colleagues care to buy the Daily Mail this weekend, there is another scandal approaching. We have no regulator. I ask the Leader if the Minister could come and talk to us about this.

Yesterday I did not get a chance to speak. The point on defibrillators made by Senator Feargal Quinn is a no-brainer. I know they are telling us we do not have the money, but for goodness' sake there is VAT on defibrillators. If Senator Marie-Louise O'Donnell and I were to set up a GAA club out in south Dublin, we would have to pay VAT on the defibrillator. That is something small which we could just take off.

There is a sum of €30 million for rural Ireland - what an absolute joke. We need a debate on the issue. I will have a lot more to say about it.
