It follows a pilot project which ran between November 2024 and April 2025, during which 600 cards were handed out to people who completed jury service. The card is “to acknowledge the valuable contribution of individuals who complete jury service”, a Courts Service spokesman said. Jurors do not receive payment in Ireland, despite trials becoming increasingly complex and sometimes lasting for several months. The new card says: “On behalf of the Courts Service, thank you for being a juror on a recent trial. The Courts Service said the card is being rolled out nationwide for a 12-month period, with a review taking place in July.
