Members on Phase 1 and 3 receive an allowance of €69.68 p.w. which goes towards upkeep in the Garda College.

Members on Phase 2 receive an allowance of €120.47 p.w. towards cost of living. H.Q. Directive 185/06 of 11 December 2006 refers.

                              Explanation of Garda Student / Probationer Pay - January 2008

Pay scales for Garda Student / Probationers may be confusing without setting out the different Phases of Training.
On this page above you can see the allowances paid to a Student Garda.

For 58 weeks after the 1st date of entry to the Garda College entrants are considered “Student-Probationer Gardaí - where these allowances are paid.

After successful completion of the initial 58 weeks training an entrant is “attested” - as a member of An Garda Síochána & go on to Point 1 of the pay scale i.e. “On Attestation” - “Members who Joined After 6th April 1995”.

Someone joining the Garda Síochána now, January 2008:-
For Phase 1 Student Training at the Garda College (22 weeks incl. 2 weeks leave) will receive a weekly allowance of €192.71. (An additional weekly sum of €69.68 goes direct to the Garda College for upkeep there)

Phase 2  Student Training is attached to a Garda Station (24 weeks incl. 2 weeks leave) - will  receive a weekly allowance of €192.71 plus an allowance of €120.47 per week towards cost of living (e.g. to go towards cost of digs etc )

Phase 3 - Student Training at the Garda College (12 weeks) will receive the weekly allowance of €192.71 + the additional weekly sum of €69.68 that goes direct to the college for your upkeep there.

That amounts to 58 weeks after first entering the College. Once 58 weeks training are successfully completed, Student Gardaí are attested & go onto (at today’s rates) €25,792 per annum + Rent allowance (paid to all those attested) of €4,162.48 per annum.

22 weeks after attestation salary rises to €28,357 (from €25,792) & one year later (i.e. after the 22 week point) salary rises to €29,925 + Rent allowance.

These are all the current rates payable now. The new rate increases as set out in the scales above will apply on the dates as set out.

So it is clear there is a financial sacrifice for the first 58 weeks. Someone commencing now (January 2008) will be paid an allowance (untaxed) for the first 58 weeks & after that will be paid €27,098 + €4,162 = €31,260 per annum (taxed) from about March 2009.

In addition, once attested, ‘unsocial hours allowance’ payments are payable as worked - i.e. extra payments for Night Duty, work on Saturdays / Sundays & Bank - see http://www.gra.cc/weekends__nights_public_holida.shtml
