638. To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality the number of peace commissioners in County Tipperary; the number of peace commissioners in each district; the name and address of each peace commissioner in the county; the frequency with which peace commissioner lists are updated in order to take into account the death or incapacity of a peace commissioner; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

As the Deputy may be aware, Peace Commissioners are appointed by the Minister for Justice and Equality under Section 88 of the Courts of Justice Act, 1924.
Peace Commissioners are empowered to act in their county of assignment and within the counties adjoining that county. There are 294 Peace Commissioners in County Tipperary.
I attach, as requested by the Deputy, information on the number of Peace Commissioners in each Garda sub-district in County Tipperary and the name and addresses of the Peace Commissioners in County Tipperary.
I wish to advise that, while every effort is made to maintain the accuracy of this information, it should be noted that Peace Commissioner records are appointment based and they do not always reflect the actual situation on the ground. This is because my Department is reliant on the Peace Commissioners and other interested parties to advise of changes in circumstances which may occur subsequent to appointment. The addresses of the Peace Commissioners are as provided by the Peace Commissioners themselves.
Therefore, I would advise that individuals requesting the services of a Peace Commissioner should also contact local Gardaí to ensure that a particular listed individual is active and available.
The Deputy may also wish to note that details of appointed Peace Commissioners are also retained by the Peace Commissioner Unit in my Department and my officials are happy to assist any individuals who require the services of a Peace Commissioner.
They can be contacted on (01) 4768637 or at info@justice.ie.
