It's hard to know for sure but I think 200-300 is a good estimate. It's hard to gauge going by OOM because people all over the OOM got offers due to people's vetting holding them up, are already in or out of Templemore or are no longer interested. The highest offer that I heard for April was in the 930's and I think the OOM goes up to 1150. Thats roughly 220 people. Then there are also people lower on the OOM still waiting because their vetting is holding them up. This is very approximate and is just quickly estimating.

The OOM goes up to over 1200.

I rang them there looking for info on another matter. In passing i mentioned it and gave a legitimate reason as to why i needed to know. They told me nothing so lads if they wont tell me forget about it an worry about it when the offers come.

Cheers for the info bud might as well stop refreshing my gmail for now then haha

It'd be so handy if they were able to give us dates of when offers and results from the tests etc come out instead of all these rumours and guessing games every time 😂 waiting is such a killer

The day started at 09:00 and I think I was out between 13:00 - 13:30. They split you into groups of 8 so it really depends on what group you're in. If you're in the first group then you'll finish everything earlier than the other groups. Wouldn't be any later than 14:00 anyway.

Congratulations on getting an offer. Was there a second induction week or was it that a position became available and you were next on the list if you don't mind me asking?

How long are u waiting?

Errigal14

Well done to all those who got offers. Jealous would be an understatement!

Mark010

not as long as some, done the medical and physical in December, got low enough on the OOM and don't have a large family so made the assumption I would be in the next intake. For some reason my vetting isn't back so i haven't been called. When I say the wait I really am counting from August though because once its in your head your constantly thinking about it. Its trivial problem compared to most though.

Yep I only have a couple of living Aunts and Uncles. There is a large side on my dads side but most have passed away and I most I never even met. I even went as far as going to the Births and marriage register office to find exact DOB to speed up the process and gave Death of Date. Only thing I can think of is I live in a Busy part of Dublin and the local station would have a huge catchment and maybe they are busy and didn't get around to finishing it. I wasn't quizzed about any relatives at the interview with the super or sergeant and to my knowledge none of my relatives (cousins excluded) have a serious/ any record.

I'm between 900 and 910, I have heard of 930s. I did contact HR they said it was the vetting. Biggest issue is that I take work on contract for 12/6 months and just finished contract so it is mind melting as to what to commit to. Would be easier in a 9-5. But sure amnt I lucky to be even waiting for the Call😊 Like he the rest of us waiting 8 years for an opportunity a couple of months won't kill us

Just wondering did many from Band 2/3 get a call for April? My OOM is in 1040's and did stage 5 at the start of Feb. Have a feeling it will be close to the end of the year before i hear anything. Heading to the Euros in June so hoping not to hear anything before that!

If your vetting is back its likely you will be in june intake!

Quimby2016

Is there defiantly an intake in June though?

thekopend

Fully sure there will be!

Judging by this, you wouldn't know how long vetting will take. I have a good few aunts and uncles as well and I only met the super in Feb too. That said, there can't be much more behind me on the OOM if they started a new campaign just before Xmas.

Are these intakes the last from the previous campaign and have the intakes been every 3 months since that campaign got off to a proper start as in the second half of 2014?

The reserves stream is from the new campaign, and the rest are made up of previous campaign's, believe or not lads with delays in vetting and then the rejection of offers by people..they are struggling to fill classes.

I'm not surprised people have rejected offers, always going to happen when you have to think about it seriously and in a short space of time.

Wannabegarda

Ya I understand that. I gave it serious serious thought and I kind if decided I would be better off joining up. Down the line I might look at other options if I'm going nowhere but for the moment this is the right career move for me

This is something that I think is going to cause issue in the future..not saying its wrong to do whatsoever but I do think the idea of 30 years in the same career is something that isn't done anymore and I do believe there will be people, more than likely the younger members may leave after 10/15 years to pursue other career options which is now a done thing in the private sector but once incomprehensible in the public sector.

Has anybody ever contacted their local station about their vetting?

They should contact you when they receive your file from HQ. Once the super is finished with his/her interviews, they send it off to the vetting department and I don't think they have much input from there on. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks for the reply. So, if I met my super at the end of December my file would be with the vetting department at Garda HQ? If that's the case, there's no chance of getting any info on it. Worried I might not get June cause my vetting wasn't complete for April and I'd say June offers could be out at the end of April / start of May which really isn't that far away
