As the Deputy will be aware, the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the management and administration of Garda business under section 26 of the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended). The Commissioner is also responsible for the Garda Reserve under the Garda Síochána (Reserve Members) Regulations 2024. As Minister, I have no role in the recruitment or training process for the Reserve.
I am informed by AGS that applications for the Garda Reserve are current being processed and the first intake of Reserve Trainees is expected to enter Templemore before the end of the year.
