Garda oversight body seeks to fill public positions

Applications are being sought from members of the public to join the Policing Authority as preparations for the new body continue.

Eight ‘ordinary members’ of the authority are to be appointed to part-time positions that will earn them €15,000 a year.

The appointments are for three/four years, with possible extensions up to eight years, and the time commitment is estimated to be four/six days per month with meetings to be held in Dublin.
