39Provisions concerning the liability of community organisations

39 Provisions concerning the liability of community organisations (1) Section 37(2) does not override any protection from liability that would have applied to a community organisation if the thing done, or not done, by the volunteer had been done, or not done, by the community organisation. (2) If more than one community organisation is involved in organising particular community work, section 37(2) applies to the community organisation or organisations that principally organised that work. S. 39(3) amended by No. 108/2004 s. 117(1) (Sch. 3 item 237.2). (3) In the case of a community organisation that is a public entity or public service body within the meaning of the **Public Administration Act 2004** or another person or body acting on behalf of the State, any liability incurred by the community organisation under section 37(2) is incurred by the State.
