As we are now coming close to the 1300 member quota the intakes will be determined by the numbers that resign from the Reserve

Maybe it is 3, I thought it was 5. With full time guards training starting it will probably change the reserves around a bit.

That means we could be waiting even longer to get trainning im quessing?

Could be. My class was 45 and when graduation came it was two class's of 45 each. There may be a number if he's who are successful in the full time. campaign. Over the past 4 years I have seen approx 5 to 10 reserves resigning for various reasons .the 1300 members strength is based on 10 percent of the regular force which was approved back in 2006.

RUNNER 1

Well it may be that there is 100 places to fill for next year maybe whoever is still left waiting for training will be in that 100 maybe ,is it not a bit unnecessary to keep having interviews if they dont need the people .

Lots of maybe,s there but it is the public service recruitment we are dealing with here. Try and stay positive . For me it was 18. months from application to walking into the gates of templemore. They will keep interviewing in order to have bodies to send to the Phoenix park for medicals. This pool may be 100 to 300 who knows

I have been waiting for 4 and a half years from my first stage to doing the medical and today I got an email to say I start training next week. Staying power does work and I can understand peoples frustration lets hope training goes well for me and it was well worth the wait :-)
