I would imagine it would be at least a couple of years before they recruit again.

Well done Taxipete.

I presume we all got letters today, im stuck in work wont be home til 6, the wait is gonna kill me!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi lads Ive been watching this thread but this is my first post.I too got my letter today placed 74th.

The letter is a bit vague though.It just says we are pleased to inform you.....bla bla bla.It doesnt say when ill be called to do the medical!

Lads could I be waiting ages for this or what?Should i go ahead and emigrate cos im not working at the moment?

Jobhunter09

I would imagine you could be waiting some months, I could be wrong but I think the class sizes are 20, leaving you in the 4th class at best assuming there is nobody left from the 07 panel. I had heard rumours of a few classes been held at the same time with a second training centre been opened in Dublin but I can't really see that happening.

im from the 07 panel and there are a few others. I came back from florida to do my interview thats two years ago now. do not wait around to be called, emigrate and if you really want the job come back for the medical.

eibp

thank for the advice.

So basically I will get a job eventually but could be waiting quite a long time.Is this correct?

Bano did you get the job in the end?

Unlucky man. Best of luck for the future.

bano12

you'll get the job if you pass the medical and fitness test. no still waiting for my clearance! i was called for the medical soon after the interview so chances are you'll be too. but after the medical you could be in for a long wait..

It is thought a large number of staff will retire this year . You are no.74 so you should be called soon.They have had classes of over eighty in training in the past divided into 3 or 4 groups.

hangman2010

what way does the clearance work?

martingore

Hard luck lavman , best of luck with the psni.Have to travel down to mayo from dub now to collect my results .

eibp

thanks for the replies lads.
I just rang publicjobs.They have no clue how many will be taken in.
They told me to ring the IPS but suprise suprise I cant get through.I have a visa being processed for Canada at the moment.Cant decide wether to go or not.If i thought id get called witin the next 6 months id stay here i think!

hotter

nothing in life is certain but with this in mind they should be taking on 300 to 400 recruits this year

johnnyk11

i got my letter today aswell i placed 64th.does any one hav any idea wat the story is at all.garda clearence usually takes 6 weeks but wil prob take longer wit guards on work to rule.

Mick990

Well lads i got my letter this morning got number 108 on the panel which i was quiet happy with because i made a balls of the report writing .

Not sure now what to think though when i started reading the replies this morning i think it could be next year before im called but now im not so sure so i don t really know what to do either .

LoanShark

Since I found out that the replies where out this week I have been up and down to the letter box like a fricking YO-YO and today I got the post but no letter!!! WTF?

jason99

Well lads, got my letter today, placed in the mid teens so delighted with that. called both public jobs and ips today but no answer due to industrial action taking place today. Anyone get a date for the next stage? Congrats to all that got the good news, hard luck to those of you that haven't.
