Confirmation of Recruitment of Gardai

Posted by Alan Kelly on September 26, 2013 at 11:14 AM

I am delighted with the news this morning that Minister for Justice & Equality, Alan Shatter TD, has confirmed that full training of new members of An Garda Siochana will beginning in Templemore College in 2014.  This is great news for the town of Templemore, particularly businesses in the area with the extra revenue in the town as well as the potential for tourism.  I have been constantly pushing for this to happen and I'm happy that the Minister for Public Expenditure has listened to me and signed off on a plan for this.  The number of new recruits has yet to be confirmed but Minister Shatter has indicated that numbers of gardai must remain over 13,000.

Recruitment will be run by the Public Appointments Service on behalf of the Garda Commissioner, as soon as recruitment begins an announcement will be made on their website and those who have indicated interest in joining the Gardai Siochana will be contacted.
