    Not sure if this is the correct place for this topic but does anyone have info re the Sheriff in Galway?

    What is his/her (h/h) name? Where is (h/h) office? What is h/h role? Who appoints h/h? How long do they have that position for? Why is there such a low profile of this position? What qualifications do you need to have to be sheriff?
    Thank you in advance.

    Sheriff's are responsible for collecting debts owed from court judgements and Revenue. They appointed by the Minister for Justice and are generally qualified solicitors. In Dublin and Cork the Sheriff also oversees elections and the management of balloting. Their profile is low mainly because nobody ever hears of them unless they have a debt that remains unpaid :)

    The Galway Sheriff is Padraig Brennan.
