Ceist:75 Mr. J. Mitchell asked the Minister for Justice when the next competition for the recruitment of gardaí will be held; and the number of gardaí likely to be recruited.
Written Answers. - Garda Recruitment.
The recruitment of Garda trainees from the current recruitment competition was scheduled to continue until December 1995. However, in accordance with the proposals in the Programme for Government, I will be looking at ways of accelerating the intake from the current competition. In any event, the question of making arrangements for a new recruitment competition does not arise at present.
