Garda Recruitment To Resume
Garda recruitment is to resume next year. A ban on hiring new officers has been in place since 2009 - as part of a moratorium in the public sector. To ensure the numbers in the force don't fall below 13,000 - the Justice Minister said there will be an intake of recruits during 2014. Audio: Alan Shatter made the announcement at the latest Garda reserve graduation at the Garda Training College in Templemore in Co Tipperary. Click the play button above to listen.
