Hopefully,

And hopefully they got everything they needed from me on the day, and that's why they haven't contacted me since!

Hey Wilco,

Do they still have your leaving cert at PAS, or have they asked you to send it back into them? Same goes for passport. All this uncertainty has gotten to me.

For the people who did bring the original copies of their LC results with them on the day, have they been sent back out to you yet?

Yeah I got mine back within a week of interview - in a crumpled mess ... wasn't even in a 'do not bend' envelope. Cheers PAS!!!

Did they not just send it back to you in the self addressed envelope from the day?

And one more question, did you give them the black and white one, or the official cert?

Rothmans, I gave the correct official one in on the day (2nd week of May) they took a photocopy of my ID (can't remember was it my drivers licence or my passport) and my birth cert there and then and I haven't heard anything back nor have I received my LC back in the mail. I hope this helps... I'm the same as you, I'm trying to work out what all this means too.

I'm in the same situation as you are.

Official (as far as I am aware!)

So it was the blue-green cert, as opposed to the grey/ back & white one.

I think like a lot of people have said on here, I felt like it went well when i came out, but then I began the postmortem... So I really couldn't say - time will tell! How did u find it?

Same as yourself. It's just the fact that they kept others' LCs and sent ours back that has me worried now Why do they need to retain some, but not others? Why aren't they telling us anything.What do you think?

Was it your original coloured leaving cert that you got back in the post? To be honest I wouldn't worry about it too much anyway. We'll all find out soon enough what the craic is with it.

How banal...

I wouldn't read too much into it Rothmans. Could be that all your documents were perfect and they are progressing with the background checks.

Are people making back up plans in case they don't get through?

No idea. They called me then a week after the interview for my passport as they took a blurry copy the first time. I wouldn't worry about it to much. No point trying to figure the method to their madness (I doubt there even is one!)

It was indeed. Have they sent yours back to you yet.

Hopefully, hopefully!! Like above, have you gotten your LC back yet out of a matter of interest?

Well that must be a good sign that they asked you for your passport again. Maybe the fact that they hold onto the LCs doesn't have a great deal to do with it so??

I have back-up plans B, C, D & E I'm not even sure this is my A plan anymore - gonna wait for the results & see what happens. How bout yourself?

I think its incompetence on PAS's behalf, nothing more. They unbelievably fcuked up all our results at the last stage, they're giving out incorrect dates and conflicting advice re BMI, bleep test etc., its not too much of a stretch to imagine some numpty obliviously photocopying the wrong info for random people, and now they've realised their mistake and they're scrambling to do a bit of damage control. That's it in a nutshell.

The mistake at the last round (the email) was due to an external company that they hired to do this for them apparently. Got talking to the man at reception on the day of my interview.

Well who's to say A) this whole LC debacle isn't being handled by an external company? And that the man at reception was right?


Bottom line, there's blunders aplenty with PAS, they are the embodiment of a clusterfcuk. I wouldn't be one bit worried about LC's, passports, photocopies etc.

How banal...

Ya, some blunders alright. I had cardiac arrest after getting our results the last time.
Haven't got my LC results back yet. Plan on quitting the mundane job and leaving the country if I don't get through.

We'd want to know this time next week...they're really taking the PAS at this stage...doopitydoo.

ShodenMcClane

Christ, I hope they don't come out this Tuesday. I have a stag this weekend. I shudder to think how bad I'll feel if I'm dying with a hangover depression on Tuesday and I hear I've failed.

How banal...

Whether you pass or fail, good excuse for the cure.

I wouldn't read into these lc results too much. When pas rang me looking for them it was just to have everything in order whether you passed or failed. She said that results will be issued regardless of if they have all your documentation they just can't process you on to next stage.

I spoke to PAS and they said if you have more that one syllable in your name and less that three then youve failed

anyone who was interviewed on an odd numbered date is being asked for their LC

Anyone who wore brown shoes is being asked for another copy of their ID

anyone who had a pinstripe suit and/or red windsor knotted tie is deffo through to fitness test and will skip the medical


anyone named shodenmcclane has failed also

That's the million dollar question. We'll just have to sit tight and wait on results!

Regarding the eye test, that's sans spectacles ha. But you are given the opportunity to get them lasered if you fail, I think.

I wonder if we will this year considering the time frames involved.
