Charitable Donations and Bequests (Ireland) Act 1844

Last updated November 14, 2025

The Charitable Donations and Bequests (Ireland) Act 1844^[1] or the Charitable Bequests Act was introduced by Sir Robert Peel in 1844, in an attempt to win over moderate Catholic support. The act enabled Catholics to leave money and items in their last will and testament to the Catholic Church. The act made parish priests less dependent on their parishioners for financial support.
