Peace Commissioners are appointed by the Minister for Justice and Equality under Section 88 of the Courts of Justice Act, 1924. Peace Commissioners are  recorded in order of Garda sub-district, not by local authority. I attach for the Deputy's information a file list of Peace Commissioners by name, county and Garda sub-district.

I must caution that this list is not automatically updated to take account of changes in the circumstances of individual Peace Commissioners since their appointment. These changes may involve a move to a different address, unwillingness to continue to perform the duties of the position, incapacity or death. My Department is reliant upon the Peace Commissioners themselves and other interested parties to advise of such changes in circumstance. Individuals seeking details of Peace Commissioners available in their areas are advised to make inquiries at their local Garda Station where the most up to date information can be obtained.
