Amharc ar fhreagraThe 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 is under the aegis of my department. It is important to note however, that the Regulator is fully independent in the performance of its statutory functions, including the registration of charities.
The table below provides the number of staff assigned to charitable status applications within the Charities Regulator in 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 respectively.
