Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: An Garda Síochána (22 Feb 2024)

Pa Daly: The Minister will probably be aware that the justice committee visited the Garda Training College in November. We were impressed by the level of professionalism in Templemore. The college was anxious to stress that it was never actually closed during Covid, only that a hybrid model was introduced. We have called for that to continue. Templemore has the capacity for 1,000 recruits per...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: An Garda Síochána (22 Feb 2024)

Pa Daly: The Minister mentioned that there was one class less coming through Templemore this year. Is that because of the attestations? A group was attested just before Christmas and was then more or less sent home again. Bringing forward those recruits’ attestations looked like a bit of a stunt.

Pa Daly: I thank the Minister for the reply. Are there plans to expand it so that other queries can be taken by Oireachtas Members?

Pa Daly: With regard to the investment being made in the process, I understand that many more staff have been employed. Are there statistics?
