In the last year or two, it has actually been about gathering the momentum so we can get to the point where we are nearly reaching the figure of 200 and beyond. That is not...

Pa Daly: What is coming down the tracks is that the large cohort of gardaí who attested in the early 1990s will be coming to the end of their natural cycle of employment. There are also the resignations and other retirements that are coming up. It is difficult when the maximum going through is 600 to 700 this year and was 700 last year. To increase to 15,000 may be on the horizon but to...

Helen McEntee: There are a number of things that we need to do here. I have referenced some of them, for example, increasing the age at which people can apply so we have even more applying; making sure that those who want to stay on can do so, which is why increasing the retirement age is very important; and making sure that those who want to become members but potentially cannot do so because of the...

Helen McEntee: This year, I have provided a budget allocation of over €2.35 billion to An Garda Síochána. This is a 25% increase on 2020 and will allow for the sustained recruitment of Garda recruits in 2024. I have taken a number of measures to support increased recruitment into An Garda Síochána. This includes a 66% increase in the training allowance and increasing the age of...

Pa Daly: I hear what the Minister is saying with regard to approaching the figure of 15,000. As the Minister knows, the Joint Committee on Justice went to Templemore. Apart from the number attesting, there are about 140 postgraduates undertaking courses there. It has been mentioned to me in passing that Templemore is stuck for space and it is seeking to obtain other venues to carry out more...
