The salary for the Garda Commissioner role, with effect from 1 August 2025, is €301,744 (non-PPC)/€317,657 (PPC)*. This salary reflects the size and unique complexity of leading An Garda Síochána, an organisation of over 18,000 employees, including lead responsibility for the security of the State.

The current Garda Commissioner is remunerated in line with the above pay point as was his predecessor. The remuneration was agreed by Government for the 2018 Garda Commissioner competition, when the post was advertised with a salary of €250,000 (PPC). The current figure arises from the application of public service pay increases in the interim; there has not been any other change to the remuneration mid contract.
