Revenue Sheriffs and the City and County Sheriffs in Dublin and Cork are paid an annual retainer of €23,678 towards the cost of running their office and derive their income from "poundage" and fees levied on debtors as prescribed in the Sheriff's Fees and Expenses Order, 2005 (S.I. No. 644 of 2005).

County Registrars (except in Dublin and Cork) are automatically Sheriffs. It should be noted that County Registrars are not paid an annual retainer nor do they receive any additional income from their sheriff duties.
