Thanks for the reply Mc jackester, so many people have said it takes years.,love to know why? A lad on this said he has been waiting on training date for the past 2/3 years I think he said, I'm surprised people stay interested that long. Do you think it would be worth putting in an application ? And how do you find the GR yourself?[/quote

Put in your application, you will enjoy if you put in some hard work...

As the Deputy will appreciate, the recruitment and training of the Garda Reserve is a matter for the Garda Commissioner and I, as Minister, have no direct role in the matter. I am informed by the Garda Commissioner that, as of the 31 March 2016, the strength of the Garda Reserve stood at 908 with 18 reserves in training.

Applications to become a member of the Garda Reserve can currently be made through the Public Appointments Service (PAS) website. The PAS processes applications on behalf of An Garda Síochána and admission to become a reserve member is subject to the provisions of the Garda Síochána (Reserve Members) Regulations 2006.

The Garda Reserve makes a real and tangible contribution to the policing of communities right across the country. This is recognised in the Programme for Government "A Programme for a Partnership Government" which includes a commitment to double the Garda Reserve to act in a supportive role undertaking local patrols and crime reduction measures. In this regard, I understand that the Garda Commissioner intends to launch a fresh recruitment drive for Garda Reserves this year. The expansion of the Garda Reserve will complement the commitments in the Programme tocontinue the ongoing accelerated Garda recruitment programme with a view to increasing Garda numbers to 15,000and also to increase further civilianisation to free up Gardaí to front-line policing duties. The delivery of these measures over the lifetime of the Government will ensure a visible policing presence in communities nationwide.

I emailed last week and got no reply, my job may not be able to give me two consecutive weeks off for the training so I don't think I'll be able to take the training if offered.

I hope this happens. I would go for the Garda reserve, because I defo didn't get full time.

Dr_Champion

So as I thought I didn't get full time, does anyone know when the New Reserve Garda Recruitment will start ?

I assume you mean the 3 hours we all did in waterford? no. I don't believe they are aware we did it at all.I had forgotten about it until you mentioned it.
Initially I was told I could work more than the 40 hrs and what about pulse?
Bye the way, is it true you were on the receiving end of a Molotov cocktail? also
I have been out a lot with the Garda you accompanied at the Spree(?)

Hi,
Just just got word yesterday that I have been accepted and am travelling to Templemore this weekend for training.You normally have to visit the local station twice for interview. This I believe is a means by which they can judge your character and are more informal chats really.They just want to be sure of your level of commitment and that you know what you are getting yourself into.Roll on the Weekend.

how long did it take for you to start training since the first interview you had up in Dublin can you remember?
