View answerAs the Deputy will appreciate, the recruitment of the Garda Reserve is a matter for the Garda Commissioner, and I as Minister have no direct role in the matter.
I have been informed by the Garda Commissioner that the strength of the Garda Reserve on 31 January 2016, the latest date for which figures are readily available, was 944 with 19 Garda Reserves in training.
