Charity regulation laws put on the back-burner

LONG-AWAITED legislation designed to regulate charities has been put back to spring of next year, it was confirmed yesterday.

The news follows revelations that up to €60,000 had been taken from the Christina Noble Children's Foundation (CNCF) in suspected fraud.

The Charities Regulation Bill which has been in gestation for a number of years was due to be published this year.
