So is this it for the Garda Reserve intake for awhile?

    I was following other threads and it appeared that the last intake of reserves was going to it for the next while. Is there any truth in it?

    Not from my information. We are close to the maximum number of 1300 but intakes will continue as currently serving reserves leave to either move abroad , because of family commitments , job pressure or recruitment to the full time. So it will depend on the empty slots and getting them filled ASAP. If you have completed all stages and passed the medical it is only a matter of waiting for the call from HRM

    HRM told me recently that intakes are slowing down but not stopping altogether,

    also said no intakes for rest of 2014,

    I suppose it depends on the attrition rate in the next couple of months. If they stick to the shames class numbers of say 45 to 50 they will be lining the applicants up in order to keep the 1300 number up to strenght

    Depends on the number that gets through to the full time service. If the Reserves see that they have not been given some advantage in the recruitment process they will find it hard to get people to apply for the Reserves in the future and to hold on to the present lot

    No way that will happen already a huge waiting list so we must be doing something right.
