In April 2000 the Government agreed, inter alia, to a system of delegated authority under which recruitment is carried out to maintain the strength of the Garda Síochána at an agreed level. Recruitment to the Garda Síochána is processed by the Civil Service Commission on behalf of the force. Recruitment competitions for entrance to the Garda Síochána are advertised in the national newspapers and on the Garda website, www.garda.ie. The Civil Service Commission is currently interviewing candidates from the 2003 competition for Garda trainees and I expect that the date will shortly be set for the next Garda recruitment campaign.
