The European Association for Planned Giving is organising a roundtable in Dublin
on 6th December on the new charity legislation. The roundtable will include key 
individuals in government who have responsibility for charity regulation.

The new charity legislation will have an impact on all organisations that raise
funds or carry out charitable activities in the Republic of Ireland. Awareness and
compliance will be important for all charitable bodies so that the new legislation
will help charities in their work.

The roundtable on will include an overview of the Charities Bill which has recently
passed Second Stage in the Dáil and is now proceeding to Committee Stage.
