Appointment of charities regulator welcomed

Shatter begins recruitment process for Charities Regulatory Authority

People involved in fundraising have welcomed the appointment of an interim charities regulator, but said there must be no further delays in establishing a register of all charities.

Justice Minister Alan Shatter has begun a recruitment process for the Charities Regulatory Authority which is expected to be formally established later this year, and is aimed at ensuring charities are more accountable to those who donate money to them.
