Peace 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.

At present, a person may also voluntarily resign from the office of Peace Commissioner by informing the Minister for Justice in writing of their wish to resign and by returning the Warrant of Appointment they received when appointed. In such an instance, that individual’s name is removed from the Roll (Register) of Peace Commissioners.

The Deputy may wish to note that a comprehensive review of the role, functions and appointment process of Peace Commissioners is currently underway.
