FRIENDS and family joined the new 87 Garda recruits who were attested as sworn members of An Garda Síochána on Friday, including some Limerick locals.
The ceremony took place in the Garda College in Templemore where the new recruits were joined by Minister for Justice Helen McEntee and Deputy Garda Commissioner Anne Marie McMahon.
Of the 87 (77% male, 23% female) newly sworn members of An Garda Síochána will bring the total number of sworn Gardaí to 13,949.
Although the minister mentioned that entering into such a career is ‘daunting’ there was a sense of excitement amongst the new recruits.
