12 new guards for Tipp but North Tipp loses out

12 new probationer Gardaí from Intake 192 passed out from the Garda College, Templemore on Friday, February 21st, and have now been assigned to Tipperary Town, Clonmel and Thurles Garda Stations. 
Speaking at Thurles Garda Station, Chief Superintendent Derek Smart welcomed the newly qualified Gardaí to the county. He said: "I am delighted to announce that 12 new probationer Gardaí have been allocated to Tipperary. 
"These additional resources will enhance our ability to respond to the needs of the communities we serve. These 12 members will be going straight out onto the front line and will be policing our towns and villages. This will also allow us to increase the capacity of some of our specialist units such as the divisional drugs unit and the protective services unit.”
