RTE Business - Today in the press

RTE Business - Today in the press: "CALL FOR TAX BREAKS FOR DONATIONS - The Government is being urged to introduce new tax benefits for Irish charities in order to encourage an American-style 'culture of philanthropy' in the State, reports the Irish Times.
The paper quotes the Community Foundation for Ireland (CFI), a charitable trust which raises funds largely through high-wealth individuals, as saying philanthropy was 'still in its infancy' in Ireland compared to the US and UK, and this was partly due to a scarcity of tax incentives for donors."
