2022 Garda Recruitment
Budget 2022 announced that funding will be made available to the Department of Justice for the recruitment of 800 new Gardaí in 2022. In addition, 400 additional civilian staff will also be recruited. The 800 extra Gardaí in Budget 2022 also means that, by the end of 2022, there will be an estimated 14,600 fully attested members of An Garda Síochána and 600 in training – putting the force on course to meet and beat our target of 15,000 sworn members of Garda Síochána.
The next Garda Recruitment Competition
A recruitment plan for 2022 is currently being developed to reflect planned recruitment for Garda Members and Garda Staff roles. Official sources have indicated that the next planned Garda Trainee competition is expected to launch in Q4 2021.
What happens when it opens?
When a new Garda recruitment competition launches, applications will open on the Public Appointments Service website (www.publicjobs.ie). The Public Appointments Service is the centralised recruiter for An Garda Síochána and will process candidates on their behalf.
Preparing for the next Garda Recruitment competition
Those who apply will be required to succeed at a number of competitive stages which will involve psychometric tests and assessments. Career Services have been providing preparation courses for Garda entrance exams since the introduction of aptitude tests in 1987. They are Ireland’s leading preparation course provider for Garda entrance tests and there are thousands of serving members that have undertaken our courses over the years.
