The Northern Ireland Judicial Appointments Commission has announced the membership of the Charity Tribunal for Northern Ireland.
The Tribunal has jurisdiction to hear appeals and applications for review from certain decisions of the new Charity Commission for Northern Ireland and to consider matters referred to it by the Attorney General.

The Tribunal has three fee paid legal members and four fee paid lay members. The members are:
* Damien McMahon, Derry City’s solicitor and president of the Tribunal.
* Adrian Colmer, a barrister
* Maura McCallion, a solicitor with the Law Centre
* Paul Artherton, a fundraising consultant
