asked the Minister for Justice if he can state when it is proposed to open recruitment for the Gárda Síochána, and if recruitment will be by public advertisement and under the Civil Service Commissioners.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Gárda Síochána Recruitment.
I am not in a position to state when recruiting for the Gárda Síochána will be reopened. As regards the method of selection, the responsibility is vested by statute in the Commissioner subject to the provisions of the Gárda Síochána (Appointments) Regulations, 1937.
