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 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.

The table below displays the number of full-time qualified barristers employed by the Charities Regulator in the years of 2023 and to date in 2024. This post is normally filled at the civil service grade of Assistant Principal.
