141. Deputy John Deasy asked the Minister for Justice and Equality when he expects Garda training to recommence for recruits at Templemore training college, County Tipperary; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16976/11]
Minister for Justice and Equality (Deputy Alan Shatter): As the moratorium on Public Service Recruitment continues to apply to An Garda Síochána, no date has been fixed for future intakes into the Garda College or for the commencement of a recruitment competition. A decision on when recruitment will re-commence will take into account the rate of retirement in the Garda Síochána and Government targets for reductions in public service numbers.
