Obviously not every garda has or needs to have blue light training and other advanced Garda training. In-service training is carried out at Templemore. It is supported for An Garda Síochána. The Garda Commissioner certainly aims to have as much in-service training done as possible to upskill all members of An Garda Síochána in whatever area they may be specialising. Unfortunately, Templemore was closed for a significant period during Covid. It has it now been reopened, the recruitment is happening and I expect there will be additional in-service training to ensure the relevant members of An Garda Síochána have the training they need to carry out their individual roles.
