I am informed by the Garda authorities that the number of Gardaí who have retired or have indicated their intention to retire from the Force, both voluntarily and on age grounds, in 2009 is 759.
200 trainees have been recruited to the Garda Training College since the start of 2009 and the moratorium on recruitment in the public service currently applies to An Garda Síochána.
I intend to review the position during the course of 2010 in consultation with the Garda Commissioner and my colleague the Minister for Finance.
