A number of provisions of the Charities Act 2009 have yet to be commenced. These sections provide for a range of miscellaneous matters, including for charitable fundraising. My Department was recently assigned responsibility for oversight of the Charities Regulatory Authority and will be working with the Authority in relation to the commencement of these sections of the Charities Act.

Section-
Section 89 Permission to enter into certain agreements with charity trustees or connected persons
Section 93 Provision for non-cash collections and related matters under the Act of 1962
Section 94 Duties of collectors
Section 95 Seizure of non-cash collection documentation, etc.
Section 96 Offences under the Act of 1962
Section 97 Power to make regulations in relation to charitable fund-raising
Section 98 Amendment of the Central Bank Act 1997
