    This may be of interest and who knows all the sacrifices we make as GR's may finally pay off...........

    737. To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality if he will consider exempting reserve members of An Garda Síochána from the application process required for the general public when applying for positions with the force; if he will take the two year probation period completed by reserve members into account; the courses completed by the reserve members under consideration; if he will give first consideration for full-time posts when they arise to reserve members due to their prior training; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [45787/13]

    The Deputy will be aware that recruitment to An Garda Síochána is governed by statutory regulations. The current regulations expressly provides that the Public Appointments Service will take into account any satisfactory service by a person as a reserve member of the Garda Síochána when they are applying to join the full time force. These regulations are currently being consolidated and revised and the same provisions for Reserve members will be incorporated into the new regulations. Arrangements are currently being finalised in conjunction with the Garda Commissioner and the Public Appointments Service, for the holding of the recently announced Garda recruitment competition, including in relation to the processing of applications by members of the Garda Reserve.
