376 Deputy Richard Bruton asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs if his attention has been drawn to the high frequency of requests to householders to donate second hand goods to charities, where the requesting organisation offers no address and only a mobile phone number, leaving the suspicion that they are not true charities; if he will introduce legislation that would govern the advertising by charities to ensure such appeals can be easily verified as genuine by the public; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
