* The IHREC replaced the Equality Authority and the Human Rights Commission which were merged to form the IHREC.
Moreover, I can advise that two new Bodies are planned:
1. Charity Appeals Tribunal
The Charities Act 2009 (on foot of which the Charities Regulatory Authority was established) also provides for the establishment of a Charity Appeals Tribunal. The Tribunal, when established, will come under the remit of my Department.
2. Policing Authority
Legislation is currently being considered by the Dáil which provides for the establishment of a Policing Authority.
