I have been informed by the Garda authorities, which are responsible for the detailed allocation of resources, including personnel, that a total of 1,125 student gardaà were inducted into the Garda College between 1 January 2005 and 1 January 2006, as set out in the following table.
Intake | Recruits | Date |
A | 275 | 7/2/2005 |
B | 275 | 3/5/2005 |
C | 275 | 2/8/2005 |
D | 300 | 7/11/2005 |
The Garda authorities have also informed me that four student gardaà resigned voluntarily and one student garda resigned in lieu of dismissal during 2005.
Garda management states that students starting on phase I training are accommodated initially at the Garda College and then in private houses when phase V students return. Garda management also states that students returning on phase III training are accommodated in private houses. Probationer gardaà returning on phase V training are accommodated at the Garda College.
The Garda authorities plan that the following intakes of 275 student gardaà will commence training on the dates as set out as follows:
Intake | Recruits | Date |
A | 275 | 6/2/2006 |
B | 275 | 1/5/2006 |
C | 275 | 7/8/2006 |
D | 275 | 6/11/2006 |
Garda management also anticipates that student gardaà inducted during 2006 will be accommodated in the same manner as previously outlined in relation to student gardaà in 2005.
