The Charities Regulatory Authority (the ‘Charities Regulator’) was established in October 2014 pursuant to the Charities Act 2009. The Authority is the State organisation responsible for registering and regulating all of Ireland’s charities, with the mandate to promote good governance practice.

The Charities Regulator also engages in the provision of services to charities, including the authorising of appointments of new charitable trustees, the framing of schemes of incorporation, authorisation of Cy-Près schemes and disposition of lands held upon charitable trusts.

The table below sets out the annual budget allocation for the Charities Regulator, from 2021 to 2023 inclusive. All funding allocated during this timeframe was for current expenditure only.

	2021 (€ million)	2022 (€ million)	2023 (€ million)
