Trustee appointments on the Irish registeracross 14,145 charities, each with a filed appointment date

Ireland's Charities Regulator publishes the date every trustee joined a board. So this edition can tell you not just who governs a charity, but which boards are due to change - tenure here is a reported fact, not an inference.

The Irish register publishes trustee names without a person identifier, so this edition does not link a person across charities. Names shown are exactly as filed.
