That this Council writes to the Minster for Justice and express disappointment that at the 6 June 2025 graduation from the Garda College in Templemore only three garda graduates — known as “probationers” — were assigned to Cork city, while two other gardai were transferred to the division. However, the Garda association has noted that in the Cork city division three frontline gardaí retired and two received promotions, ultimately cancelling out the five new arrivals (Kieran McCarthy).
