Applicants who are currently on a panel and have gone through the medical, physical and character vetting procedures, and are available, will be offered positions as Garda Trainees, in strict order of where they were placed on the panel, upon the resumption of recruitment.I recently announced the start of a Garda recruitment campaign to establish a panel of approved candidates who will be available to meet future Garda recruitment needs.
