Commentary on Sections

Section 4: Educational endowments

Section 4 transfers the Department’s functions under the Educational Endowments (Ireland) Act 1885, and other related Acts, to the CCNI.  These functions are no longer appropriate to the Department as they fall within the CCNI’s statutory role as Regulator of charities.
