Following Government approval, the Charities (Amendment) Bill was published in April 2022 and proposes to update existing charity law to improve the ability of the Charities Regulator to conduct its statutory functions and ensure greater public trust and confidence in the sector.
The Bill will now progress for pre-legislative scrutiny by the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection, Community and Rural Development, and the Islands.
I look forward to working with members of both Houses of the Oireachtas to enable the passage and enactment of this Bill as speedily as possible.
