Garda Recruitment- The Waiting to Apply Room

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'd say everyone in Templemore is hoping to get one of these 3 new stations
Kevin St looks like something from Hawaii 5-0

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

I heard it from a Superintendent that I know. Could have sworn that I also read it on one of the Garda threads here months ago.

Whose to say the lad even applied for full time in the first place?
Maybe he's happy being a prof photographer after all

Heard it myself and also read about it here an age ago

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.

So any speculation on when recruitment will open again??

And if there will be new requirements?

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.
