PJ Lydon appointed Commissioner for Oaths

Kilcullen's PJ Lydon has been appointed a Commissioner for Oaths, writes Brian Byrne.

His application was approved by the Supreme Court on Tuesday 4 December, before the Chief Justice.

PJ retired this time last year as Manager of the Kilcullen Community Centre after 35 years of involvement with the facility.

A Commissioner for Oaths is a person authorised to verify affidavits, which are statements in writing and on oath, and also verifies other legal documents.

People may need the services of a Commissioner for Oaths if they are giving evidence on affidavit for court proceedings in Ireland; or making an affirmation, declaration, acknowledgement, examination, or attestation for the purpose of court proceedings, or for the purposes of registration of documents.

The functions of a Commissioner for Oaths are to make sure that the evidence in question is in written form in the draft affidavit; to establish that the person before him or her has read that draft affidavit and fully understands the contents; to require the person to swear that the affidavit is true; and to verify that the affidavit is properly sworn.

PJ Lydon's phone number is 083 0553999.
