Recruitment beyond the planned 1,000

Summary

Kavanagh sought assurance that the 1,000 appointments would be followed by continued recruitment; Collins said many shared that view and it would remain under consideration.

Would the Minister assure the House that the appointment of 1,000 new recruits will only be the start of a campaign to build up the Garda force and that we will not have a situation where no recruitment takes place for a number of years? This level of recruitment will be needed for a number of years in the future.

That is a view that many would share, and perhaps I share that view. This is something we will keep in front of us at all times.
