Since the reopening of the Garda College in September 2014, almost 2,600 Garda recruits have been assigned to mainstream duties nationwide.
I am informed by the Commissioner that the number of trainee Gardaí and the number of Gardaí who resigned from An Garda prior to the retirement age in each year from 2014 up to 13 March 2019, the latest date for which figures are currently available, are as set out in the following tables.
I am advised with regard to trainee Gardaí, the numbers represent resignations/terminations prior to attestation. In relation to Probationer Gardaí, the numbers represent resignations in the period from attestation to the period of conferring of their award of a Bachelor of Arts (Level 7) in Police Studies and are provisional figures which are subject to change.
Number of Trainee Gardaí who reigned from An Garda Síochána before attestation.
