- Commissioner to remain in office until September 1st 2025, while new successor is identified and appointed.
- Garda Board and Policing, Security and Community Safety Act (PCSA) to extend term of office.
The Irish Government, today, approved a proposal in principle to extend the term of office of Garda Commissioner Mr Drew Harris, until September 1st 2025.
The Commissioner was due to retire on June 1st 2025, however the selection competition for a successor will be ongoing at that point.
A proposal to extend his term has been approved in principle to provide certainty and stability pending the appointment of his successor. The process to extend the Garda Commissioner’s term is provided for in the recently commenced Policing, Security and Community Safety Act 2024.
The Government will now consult with the newly established Garda Board and Policing and Community Safety Authority, as provided for under the Act.
When this consultation is completed the Government will then make a formal decision to confirm the extension of the Commissioner’s term. Regulations providing for the new retirement date for the Commissioner will be brought to government for approval at the same time.
