Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 June 2023
464. Deputy Carol Nolan asked the Minister for Justice to list all Peace Commissioners appointed from 11 February 2022 to date and the areas to which they were appointed; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [29755/23]
View answerPeace Commissioners are appointed and may be removed from that appointment by the Minister for Justice under section 88 of the Courts of Justice Act 1924. The office of Peace Commissioner is an honorary one for which there is no remuneration or compensation by way of fees or expenses for their services.
My Department maintains the Roll of Peace Commissioners and while every effort is made to keep the Roll up to date, the records do not always reflect the actual situation on the ground. This is because the Department is informed by Peace Commissioners themselves, and other interested parties, of changes in circumstances of individual Peace Commissioners since their appointment.
I can inform the Deputy that 103 Peace Commissioners have been appointed in total throughout the country from 11 February 2022 to date. I have attached, for the Deputy’s information, a list of Peace Commissioners in each area.
The Deputy may wish to note that my Department is currently updating the Roll of Peace Commissioners and has commenced a review of the Peace Commissioner process in its entirety. Consideration is also being given to making a Register of Peace Commissioners available online.
