- 201 trainees enter Templemore Garda College, Templemore, Co. Tipperary, in highest intake in over six years.
- 6,700 applications received in latest recruitment campaign.
- 149 new Gardaí were attested from Templemore Garda College last Friday.
201 trainees entered the Garda College in Templemore today Monday March 10th 2025, the highest number since 2019.
This intake follows the attestation of 149 new probationer Gardaí at a ceremony in Templemore on Friday last.
We understand that this high intake reflects the growing momentum in Garda recruitment.
The latest Garda recruitment campaign was launched in February last and received over 6,700 applications. This marks a continued increase on the 5,000 applications received in 2023 and the almost 6,400 last year.
Some 32% of applicants are female, while 42% of applicants are aged 30 years and over, and 23% of those detailed are from an ethnic background, sharing characteristics such as culture, language, religion, and traditions, other than being white Irish. This is important since An Garda Síochána is a community-focused policing service, and therefore should reflect diverse and thriving communities.
The Government is fully committed to strengthening An Garda Síochána by 5,000 members over the next five years.
