I am informed that on the basis of current figures the direct cost, incorporating basic pay and allowances, of a Garda recruit up to attestation would be in the region of €8,000 and that uniform costs amounting to approximately €1,200 would be incurred. Additional expenditure would also arise in a number of areas, such as for training and maintenance, but the relevant amounts would depend on a number of factors, including the number of recruits involved.
