An Garda Síochána
Dail Éireann — 2023-12-12
============================================================

Pa Daly (SF), Kerry

Much of this comes back to the number of gardaí being attested in Templemore. The Garda Commissioner said a number of weeks ago that the total for this year would be 714 but then last week a figure of between 700 and 800 was mentioned. Does the Minister have a figure for the number of attestations that have been brought forward for this month? Does she have a figure for the total for this year and the number she anticipates will be attesting and entering the Garda College next year? I ask her to revert to me on the issue of peer support and the exact number that will be made available to serving gardaí throughout the State.
