Under section 15(5) of the Garda Siochana Act 2005, the range of powers and duties of Reserve Gardai is a matter for the Garda Commissioner to determine. An internal review of the Garda Reserve was carried out in 2008 and certain proposals, relating to duties, training, communications, and representation, were submitted for consideration to the Commissioner and his senior management team.

I have been informed by the Garda Commissioner that a number of proposals arising from the review have been implemented at this stage.
