I am informed by the Garda Commissioner that 100 recruits commenced their training in January of this year and another 100 commenced their training in May, after which the moratorium on recruitment in the public service applies. I have also been informed by the Garda Commissioner that under normal circumstances it is not possible to give a definitive timeframe when an applicant will be called to training on successful completion of their exams and assessment.
