    Anyone else in the same boat where they highly regret missing the last recruitment drive? If so what are your plans for the foreseeable future with regards to keeping yourself occupied?

    Its a good sign if the 500 figure is coming from the commissioner as at least she is aware of the impact of the recruitment ban had on the numbers. Increased recruitment would be great but its limited by the numbers that can get through Templemore. Perhaps throughput can be increased there but not sure what its limitations are. Is the 100 recruits at a time limited by accommodation on site or by the actual training facilities ?

    Its a number of factors... accommodation definitely is one, but also teaching resources (classrooms and number of tutors). From what I've heard going forward there will be 4 intakes of 125 per year. That will make up the 500 figure and is the most manageable way to do it.

    Id say that you are spot on with the 125, 4 times a year. If that prevails than its about as good as anyone can expect.

    I joined in 2005 and at that stage they were taking over 250 every 3 months. The college was redeveloped to accommodate this and lots of accommodation was provided by locals as dig.

    This might be affected by the new training programme though as the length of the training phases are different.

    Recruitment is badly needed, read something today about Francis Fitzgerald not forwarding the breakdown of personnel across different districts to fianna fails justice spokesperson, despite requesting the figures for the last 5 months.

    I'd say everyone in Templemore is hoping to get one of these 3 new stations

    Fair play to them. I heard the commissioners son didn't make it - and he was in the reserves.

    No link as I doubt AGS publicise that sort of thing but afaik he is still in the GR. Fairly talented with the oul photography alright, he won an INTERPOL comp there last year for a picture he took at a crime checkpoint with the RSU in the frame.

    Posted this few years ago and got dogs abuse...good to see its being looked at now. I was offered a place in AGS last year but turned it down. Conditions terrible. I know 2 people who joined in last couple of years and have left already. Hope members get what they deserve soon. Best of luck.
