Before recruitment can commence, there are a number of procedural issues that need to be finalised prior to the formal commencement of the process which I expect to get underway in the coming weeks, with the first students entering the Garda College in Templemore, Co Tipperary in mid-2014.

The competition will be run by the Public Appointments Service on behalf of the Garda Commissioner. An announcement will be issued as soon as recruitment starts, both on their website (www.publicjobs.ie) and directly to those who have registered an expression of interest in joining the Garda Síochána.

Persons who would like to join An Garda Síochána and have not yet registered their interest in doing so may sign up at www.publicjobs.ie.
