I have been informed by the Garda authorities which are responsible for the detailed allocation of resources, including personnel, that 833 recruits have graduated from the Garda college since 6 June 2002. This figure of 833 comprises those who have successfully completed the student-probationer education-training programme. This figure does not include those who have been attested to the force upon completion of phase 3 of their training programme and who have yet to complete the fifth and final phase of that programme. The number of members attested to the force since 6 June 2002 is 1,042.
A total of 818 members — all ranks — have resigned, retired or otherwise left the Garda Síochána since 6 June 2002.
