Applications Now Open for Garda Recruitment

The first recruitment of Gardaí in five years was announced as one of the measures in Budget 2014. 

I am pleased to say that applications are now officially open for this new in take of officers to An Garda Síochána. 

You can apply for the new positions in the Gardaí on the Public Jobs website here: http://www.publicjobs.ie/publicjobs/campaignAdvert/9112.htm

Applications are open until midnight on 9th January 2014.

This is great news for Dublin North West as it will mean retiring Gardaí are replaced and that national Garda numbers are maintained above 13,000 in the coming year.

I know a lot of young people have also been waiting several years for recruitment to reopen so they can apply for positions in An Garda Síochána.

While it was announced recently that crime is already falling in key categories in North Dublin, this new recruitment process will allow Garda to continue this progress and to provide further help to our communities in tackling anti-social behaviour.
