As the Deputy is aware, I have secured the approval of my colleague the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform for a recruitment competition for the Garda Síochána. There are a number of procedural issues that need to be finalised prior to its formal commencement, which is expected in the coming weeks, with the first students expected to enter the Garda College in Templemore, Co Tipperary, in mid-2014. The competition will be run by the Public Appointments Service on behalf of the Garda Commissioner. An announcement will be issued as soon as recruitment starts, both on their website and directly to those who have registered an expression of interest in joining the Garda Síochána.
