The post of County Registrar is a statutory officer appointed by the Government, with a number of different roles, including under-sheriff and returning officer functions.
When posts become vacant (as currently in Clare/Limerick and Waterford), arrangements are made with the Courts Service and the Public Appointments Service to run an open recruitment competition to identify suitable persons for recommendation to Government for appointment.
Further information on such competitions is available on the public jobs website (www.publicjobs.ie).
