Same boat myself, haven't heard anything - I spoke to HR about 2 weeks ago and they said fitness may be around end of October - just a guesstimate

I was going to say that. The last time people were called for medicals etc fairly soon after the interview results were out. If memory serves me right the interview results were out the Friday 30th of May and I know some people were having medicals on June 10th and called for Physicals on June 20th.

I was told first week in October in the interview . My friend emailed pas and he was told late October and garda hq said mid October so any time in the next 33 or so days . The wait is a killer
I personally think sooner rather than later .

Nope. Glad I'm not alone. Feeling less and less hopeful as time wears on!

... And if I ask my references if they've been contacted yet once again they're threatening to give me bad references hahaha

I don't think they contact the references until you get passed the interview. So you'll hear first

It's the local garda that will call your references before you get called in to meet the sergeant and super. This was the case for me during the summer.

So...impatience got the better of me and I e-mailed public jobs to see if they could shed any light on a date for the results.
Response?... "Results are expected to be released to your Public Jobs message board this month"
So, I know they probably don't want to commit to a date but I thought they might say this week/next week, whatever.
It could be another few weeks though by the looks of it.
Which is killing me as I had my interview the start of Sept so I've been waiting a month already! We will be the most patient set of Guards to cross the doors of Templemore at this rate if we make the cut! :-)

Click this link (hope it works) and see section 6.

I just printed this sheet and brought it in to my optician for a test and he said I was fine. I wear glasses for driving and distance just to sharpen things up but he said I will pass the eyesight no problem.

chazzbucket2

Passed the interview does anyone know how many fail it?

Brownfox15

Lads just wondering in reference to the fitness test, are the sit-ups, pressups, beep test added on to the obstacle course/push and pull? Do we have to do all of them? Or has the obstacle course been got rid of do ye know? Cheers.

Yea Brownfox.. you do all them. If you check youtube for them they come up. Type in garda fitness and you'll see the obstacle course, then the bleep and muscle endurance. You'll also see a chap doing the push pull.

Gutted. Failed interview. I have looked for feed back to see where I was unsuccessful. Did many fail?

mrDerek

Question about the core competencies commitment to the role is this questions like what do you know about the guards etc?

Also personal effectiveness is this how well you do things?

Interviews are over I taught ?

Some are still going on
