What's the Irish equivalent of Justice of the Peace?

Question

I have to get some documents certified and am in Galway - where would be best to go?

Answer 1

Peace commissioner , that could be a solicitor, a Doctor, a priest etc., if you know some local people ask them they should be able to direct you to someone , try to stay away from a Solicitor as they will charge you where as the rest will should do it for free

Answer 2

No they are called Peace Commissioners

Solicitors and persons employed in their offices and members of the clergy are, as a matter of practice, not appointed as Peace Commissioners because of the possibility of a conflict of interest.

Your local Garda (police) station should be able to give you the name and address of a Peace Commissioner in your area.

In galway city the garda (police station) is in mill street 091 - 538000
