Mr. Ronan Slevin:

People do 33 weeks in the Garda college and then come out to their training station, where they are not allowed to perform duties for another 17 weeks. They observe only. There are plentiful stations. The issue can sometimes be tutor gardaí being available to take those members under their wings, show them the ropes and teach them how to do on-the-job training. I am not sure what the question was but that is how it is at the moment.
