The amount paid to garda reserves will be as much as triple under plans announced by Justice Minister Helen McEntee.

Up to €3,000 will be paid to reserve members for 200 hours of volunteering, a significant increase from the current €1,000 offered for at least 100 hours.  

What do you think? Would this encourage you to join?  

Andrea is joined by former Gardaí and listeners to hear their thoughts.
