The Minister for Community, Equality and Gaeltacht Affairs is responsible for the Charities Act 2009 and he has advised me that section 99 of the Act has been brought into operation. I have also been informed, however, that the section is the subject of a constitutional challenge which is currently pending on appeal before the Supreme Court.
