WORST CASE SCENARIO NOT BEEN A BUZZ KILLER YOU HAVE TO BE PATIENT

    Formal warning Sgt. Bilko. You are around here long enough now to be familiar with the forum charter especially in relation to txtspk.
    Back on topic now,
    Thanks,

    Have a thought today for the Garda who died following an act of kindness while off-duty.

    I remember when word came through to me lastnight about this & thinking :eek:

    I said it lastnight and I will say it time and time again, Garda Jones is just pure inspirational character. MY deepest sympathies to his family, friends and colleagues :(

    Sadly, not the only life lost during the flooding that started on the 24th October.

    Thanks again to CharlieCroker for this.

    Absolutely Kerry! Reiterates what the force have been saying since it's foundation "Gardai sometimes go beyond the call off duty" This Hero wasn't even on duty, spots immediate danger to the public and intervenes and pays the ultimate price for his bravery. I think it's fair to say that everyone here on Boards wishes the Jone's family sincere sympathies and may he rest in peace.

    Im in the "provisional" december intake,,, I was told over the phone but no email or letter just yet...If I can say anything and I would say all the lads that have got to training would agree..Keep off the drink and MP3 player before the medical. If your fit it would be a problem because you should tick all the boxes in terms of BMI, Lung test BP. but that listening test is hard.

    It has come up several times about the strength in numbers for Garda Reserves:

    This answers it, and includes the breakdown in each division.

    Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael)
    Question 374: To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality the current number of individuals in the Garda Reserve; the geographical locations, by county, of members of the Garda Reserve; his view on the role of the Garda Reserve; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [32866/11]

    Alan Shatter (Minister, Department of Justice, Equality and Defence; Dublin South, Fine Gael)
    I have been informed by the Garda Commissioner that the personnel strength of the Garda Reserve on 30 September, 2011, the latest date for which figures are readily available, was 816. Members of An Garda Síochána are assigned on a Divisional basis and not on a county basis. The personnel strength of the Garda Reserve by Division is as set out in the table hereunder:
    Division Strength
    DMR South Central 48
    DMR North Central 32
    DMR North 74
    DMR East 17
    DMR South 41
    DMR West 49
    Waterford 27
    Wexford 24
    Tipperary 29
    Kilkenny/Carlow 27
    Cork City 48
    Cork North 19
    Cork West 19
    Kerry 15
    Limerick 37
    Donegal 23
    Cavan/Monaghan 18
    Sligo/Leitrim 18
    Louth 32
    Clare 17
    Mayo 26
    Galway 56
    Roscommon/Longford 13
    Westmeath 20
    Meath 27
    Kildare 25
    Laois/Offaly 18
    Wicklow 17
    Total 816
    The Deputy will be aware that the Commissioner, in consultation with his senior management team, is responsible for the detailed allocation of resources, including personnel, throughout the organisation, and I have no function in the matter. The target strength of the Garda Reserve remains at 10% of the full time Force and I would like to assure the House that the Government and the Garda Commissioner are fully committed to the Garda Reserve.

    I actually didn't even see the west there, hence why I was asking :(. Coolock is DMR North.

    Thinking East might be Swords, Malahide, Balbrigan .

    Well done - Isn't it a great feeling when your leaving HQ? All the hard work is done for it all to start again when you start your training. We could be in the same class!
