Hi Bud , i spoke to them today to see if there was any news , they said they have no new information and i asked were they doing medicals at the moment and they said no.

Something funny going on , i done my medical in Feb , then there was guys who were called at the time and had medical cancelled , you were down for medical today and yet when i rang them they said that they have no new info that to just keep watching my emails and i said now that your doing medicals again is there a move on again , they said that they are not doing any medicals. So i am lost. why would they not say they have started calling people for medicals again that had them cancelled.

I did everything in the curragh this must mean there getting ready for a new intake. I don't really know what to think though because there has been people who've done their medicals in February and still have heard nothing.

In Cork.I was called along with others then they cancelled medicals on other lads and now they seem to be calling them again.

TheStig13

Got an email this morning for a medical on the 21st of this month in the curragh.

Feeney23

Got an email for a medical today aswell. They told us we had 12 months on the panel last June so they only have another month to use this panel and bring in new Recruits. That's why it's all moving now because they need to use the panel in the next month or they'll have to start a new competition.

First things first, drink alot of water before hand and dont go to the toilet, Thats what took the longest for a few of us the day we went haha, You start off by getting briefed about what will happen, then first is urine, then bloods. After that you go do your BMI, hearing, blood flow or something cant think of the proper name and eyes. Nothing difficult only i cant emphasis enough on the water and not going to the toilet untill youre there. I done mine in Feb so i could be forgetting something if anyone else wants to correct me.

What did u make of the hearing and sight? ...
I'm a little worried over them things, my sight is grand same as my hearing but for some reason I feel it's harder than I think.

They arnt bad at all, I was worried too since i hadnt done either in a long time, but theyre not hard at all, Hearing your in a small room and you have headphones and a button and you have to click the button when you hear the sound, eye test its looking threw a scope style thing and choosing the correct thing out of a few. It just takes more concentration more then anything. Youll be grand!

Doesn't sound too bad, still nervous about it all the same .. Is there anything to worry about though with the sight and hearing or? Like you'd wanta have very bad eyesight and bad hearing not to pass if u get me?
Sound for all the info.

Nah i dont think theres anything to worry about but everyone will be a bit nervous. I cant really tell how bad your hearing or eye sight has to be but I found it grand. I cant really speak for everyone tho if you get me. Its no bother just hope everyone gets to do there's now and finds out what the story is.

nah as far as i know my sight and hearing is ok, its the fear of falling at the final hurdle after it taking so long ... good info! sound for all that. I onder what the craic is soon as we have the medical done (providing we pass)
