I fully support the Commissioner's decision to move forward the attestation date of more than 150 recruits by a few weeks to 15 December 2023. The Gardaí who attest on 15 December will be available for deployment by Garda management over the busy Christmas period. It is important to note that they will return to the college to complete their studies at a later date. A similar approach was taken in March 2020 when two classes attested early to support the policing response to Covid-19.
