An Garda Síochána has provided me with the table below which shows the number of Gardaí who have attested from January 2023 to the latest ceremony on 22 August last. A fourth attestation for 2025 is due to be held in November.
A number of factors influence the number of people who attest in each ceremony including trainees reverting from one intake to another due to academic or health/injury reasons, as well as resignations or training suspensions. The training is, of necessity, quite rigorous and some level of attrition is normal given the high standards of performance required of Gardaí.
