Hi got email last week to attended for medical next Wednesday says 60 been called but only 40 been enlisted.So it great to get that call after all this time but nothing guaranteed yet , going to be 20 very disappointed people , and if you end up been one of those 20 is that it is it all over for you then????????

What barracks did you apply trough ?
I applied trough the Curragh. Maybe it is over if I don't get an email but I do have many college interviews coming up so hopefully something pans out there if I don't get enlisted. Good luck with your medical though.

I phoned the recruitment and competitions section last week and they said that the barracks I applied to (the Curragh) hadn't issued their emails yet about the panel and are expected to do so in the next week or two.

So if over 40 pass the medical for where you're doing it how do they judge who goes through, must be who has the better phycho metric test scores. I wonder could there be a supervised test after the medical aswell.

There could be but I remember when we got our panel email it said we would be in if there's any vacancies in 2015 once we pass a medical it never said anything about another supervised test? I just hope I get in after all this waiting!!

Yeah true enough, I'd say next week could be the week we hear something. But ya never know, Same as that hopefully all the waiting pays off, it would be a grand ol career

Did any of ye who went through the curragh hear anything at all since last summer or so? Garda vetting or are u still interested emails?
I wonder will it be this week we hear, I would email and ask but they're prob sick of me emailing. So if anyone emails the manpower office about info on the curragh be sure to post the response on this

I'm guessing I'm probably wrong..usually am when it comes to predicting when they send out emails, nah applied through Cathal Brugha.. I'll try find out for you but can't guarantee I'll get answer.

Krisd2014

Did anyone get email saying you didn't attend for fitness test for the reserves today, got excited when seen email from them until I opened it, this is the 2nd time I got this one now could be another mistake like the email about joining the cadets, wasn't long until the proper one was sent

How strict are they on eyesight? Thats the only thing that could let me down.

I'm 23 this summer and once it's exactly a year since your original interview (May 2014) your application is deleted. Your interview is only valid for one year. So this is the last stab at it for me, I'm highly disappointed in how this recruitment was handled. This time last summer we were told in the curragh that we would be starting in August of that year.

Eyesight must be surgically untreated and colour vision must be normal. Both eyes must be free from disfiguring or incapacitating abnormality and free from acute or chronic disease. There must be no evidence of squint or latent squint. Applicants who have had previous incisional or laser treatment to correct visual acuity are excluded from eligibility.

Vision must not be less than 6/18 in each eye, corrected to not less than 6/6 in one eye and 6/9 in the other.

Eye test was much the same as you would get at your Optiician

Kanedean16

So if the Medicals were given out in cork and your starting in April does that mean the government have sanctioned recruitment and we'll all have our Medicals in a few weeks and starting around April?

Anyone been in contact with Cathal brua or barricks in the Kildare dublin area to see what the story is

stripmymind

Did anyone who applied to the curragh receive Garda vetting emails or any contact since been out on the panel?
