Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 November 2023
627. Deputy Jennifer Murnane O'Connor asked the Minister for Rural and Community Development the estimated cost in 2024 to recruit an additional WTE compliance concerns manager and an additional WTE registration manager at the grade of HEO for the Charities Regulator; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [49595/23]
View answerThe 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.
While my Department has been assigned responsibility for the Charities Regulator, it is important to note that the Regulator is fully independent in the performance of its statutory functions.
I understand that the combined estimated cost, including employer PRSI, of an additional WTE compliance concerns manager and an additional WTE registration manager respectively, at a grade equivalent to Higher Executive Officer, entering on first point of the scale, would be €121,630.
