Tipperary TD Noel Coonan received confirmation last Wednesday from his Fine Gael colleague and Minister for Justice and Equality, Ms Frances Fitzgerald, TD, that 100 new Garda recruits will enter Templemore Garda College to commence training in September.
Minister Fitzgerald stated: “I welcome the recommencement of training for new Gardai which demonstrates the ongoing commitment of Government to supporting Garda Síochána in their efforts to keep our communities safe”. “It is five years since Templemore last saw new recruits entering Garda college, so the intake in September marks an important step forward, both for the Gardai, for the local community in Templemore; and for the country.”
"There was a major recruitment overseen by the Public Appointments Service which proved very popular with over 20,000 applications. The new recruits will undergo an innovative new training programme for Gardai, which has been developed to reflect the current policing environment and will better prepare the recruits for the reality of life on our streets. On conclusion of the two years training, the new Gardai will be awarded a BA in Applied Policing," concluded Deputy Coonan.
