Plans to recruit 1000 new gardai this year are already in doubt.
The Irish Times reports the uptake of places at the training college in Templemore is 30% behind target.
225 new recruits were due to begin training last Monday, but only 154 took up their places.
While the first intake of the year in January saw 134 new garda trainees, it should have been 200.
