Entry to the Garda Reserve is governed by the Garda Síochána (Reserve Members) Regulations 2006. Regulation 4(4) of these Regulations provides that former members who on retirement received an 'exemplary', 'very good' or 'good' discharge from the Garda Síochána are automatically deemed to meet the entry requirements.
