I propose to take Questions Nos. 133 and 134 together.
Student gardaà are not appointed as members of the Garda SÃochána until attestation, following successful completion of phases I to III, inclusive, of the Garda SÃochána training programme. On attestation, newly appointed members are assigned to the various Garda divisions by the Garda Commissioner. Any statistics on Garda strength make clear the distinction between attested gardaà and student gardaÃ.
