There are 700 fewer gardaí than in 2020, and low morale is not recognised, body says
“We had a commitment this year to have a thousand gardaí going into Templemore. So far in February there was supposed to be 200. We had 134. This month that was supposed to be 225, we had 155 who went in. Last year we had a commitment for 800. Less than 300 guards entered Templemore.Mr Slevin pointed out trainees entering Templemore received only €4.60 per hour for the 32 weeks that they are in training.
It would not have gone unnoticed there had been an increase in the number of assaults of gardaí – over 1,000 last year – Mr Slevin said, adding there was also the issue of work-life balance, highlighted by arguments over rosters.
