Five new gardaí to be stationed in the north west

Five newly-qualified gardaí are set to be stationed in the north west region.

Twenty four Gardaí were attested as sworn members of An Garda Síochána at a ceremony yesterday.

The new members bring the total number of sworn Gardaí to 14,157.

They will be stationed across the regions, with 14 allocated to Dublin, four in the East, two in the South and five in the Northwest.

These members of An Garda Síochána are the last members to have applied to join An Garda Síochána during the 2019 recruitment campaign.

The new Gardaí commenced their Garda training in May 2022, and have undertaken a blend of online learning, on-site learning in the Garda College, and experiential learning in training Garda stations.

Speaking at yesterday’s ceremony in Templemore, Garda Commissioner Drew Harris said, “Our duties and responsibilities as Ireland’s national police and security service have broadened substantially since our foundation 100 year ago.

“But one thing has remained resolute – the strong and unique bond with the communities that we serve – firmly built on a tradition of policing by consent.

“Policing with and for the people to allow them live freely from violence, crime and fear.

“As these new Gardaí now go to serve in cities, towns and villages, they will play an important role in maintaining this connection.

“In providing that service, they should never lose sight of the importance of treating every single person they encounter with dignity and respect.”

A further 89 Garda recruits, 1 intake, are currently undergoing the training programme at the Garda College. The next intake of Garda recruits from the 2022 recruitment campaign are scheduled to enter the Garda College before end of February 2023.

The Minister for Justice, Simon Harris TD, said: “I particularly welcome that, from next month, we will see 200 recruits enter the college every 11 weeks to meet our target, funded in Budget 2023, of recruiting 1,000 new Gardaí in 2023.

“And in the coming months, we will launch a new recruitment campaign for An Garda Síochána to ensure we have a steady pipeline of recruits entering Templemore over the coming years.

“I wish the new recruits every success in their careers.”
