Rang them there, vetting didn't come back for me either. Ranked mid-30's so I'm fairly sick to say the least.

wideasagate

I'm in! Life is good and delighted to be giving in my notice tomorrow!!

jrobertos

For those who have yet to do medical and physical. How long do ye think until they will start the process again

Chirper

Such a pain in the ****. Got called for the medical and physical and they let me believe i had a chance. Now it all begins again. The rumours, the wondering and checking boards every 5 mins. I wont be sorry to see the back of this website if this charade ever ends.

Same boat myself, said there are a few reports to come back, what you think could be holding it up, I live abroad for one year but had only one address ther so cant see why it should take so long. Fairly sickened the not knowing is going to kill me for another few months.

Rushden

Did my medical 6 weeks ago and was deferred and still haven't heard a thing so wouldn't be surprised if there are more in the same situation, would explain a lot of people high on the order of merit getting in the first batch. When I rang a couple of weeks back I was told the chief medical officer was on leave, seemed like bad timing to be on leave a few weeks after medicals when he has to approve all people who were deferred

Did they give any indication of what lies ahead or is it just sit and wait?

thekopend

So what do the emails say, so I can dream about getting one

K.Hammett

Wahey! Got the email. Can finally relax about it.

Congrats to everyone!

Basically that we wont make the first class and that they cant say when a second classs will be taken.

Hi - I'm in this boat, I did my medical and was offered fitness test for start of July but had to put it off due to an injury.. I rang HRM asking about a rough date or time for the next batch of fitness tests, they said "probably September or October" - but really, nothing is set in stone.

I don't think they know any more than we do at this stage. Hopefully now that the ball is rolling for the 1st class, things might start moving for the rest too.

Kizzy08

Well done everyone

mickaleen

Originally they had a class in for July and November. I don't know whether Nov will be approved now as July was held up til September. Look its not an ideal situation but at least we're through the medicals and physicals, so just keep tipping away with a bit of training and our day will come too. Its not all doom and gloom. Also, congratulations and best of luck to everyone who got their email today.

Yeah, no idea what could be holding mine up tbh. Like I'm in my early 20's, have never lived abroad, had two addresses here and never had so much as a penalty point. The woman I was onto said that it was probably my aunts/uncles who lived in busy districts that were holding it up but she was clearly grasping at straws when I told her my situation.

Honestly, if they told me this is May/early July I would have said grand and gone about my business but I've since taken a gamble and turned down two different Masters.

Only problem with this is , if the second class is not in before Christmas then we have to redo the medical as it isnt valid after 6 months.

Ye Im fairly similar in the sense that im turning down chances of courses because Im not sure when I will be taken, they should really tell us what the holdup is and how long we will be waiting so we can get on with our lives.

Not so. I asked this question on the day of my medical and was told if we didn't make the first batch our medicals would hold even if it went over the 6 months. Don't ask me how that works but was told that by HRM.

The wait is nothing compared to what the wait will be like for the e-mail informing us where we are going to be stationed!

I'd say anyone not fluent in Irish will be heading to a Dublin station anyway, pearse St, store st and the Bridewell most likely!!

Won't be email for classes, was told by serving members that you are told at the end of training in the big lecture hall in front of everyone. It's just read out.

Each class senior will get a list once hr issue the bulletin. It can be passed around or read out but its not in the lecture theatre.

redsurfer

I'm at Pollys waiting for u lot as I'm in too. Hell yes. I don't think it be that quiet for long soon.

ShodenMcClane

Congratulations to everyone, sounds kind of bitter of me but I'm sitting here gutted thinking of everyone getting their emails. It will be a long wait for us hoping to be in the second class, still waiting to do my medical and physical too.

Congrats again to everyone though.

michaeld134

Was ranked 107 and no email. Hr told me that there was a delay with vetting for my uncle in Scotland and only returned on Friday and everything now has to be reviewed before offer can be given. So please will a few of yous defer? Ha

mycro89

Congrats all, did any candidates fail the background stage? how many were accepted ? How many are still in the running ?

radonk

very disappointed..:( was placed in the first 100 but apparently my vetting hasn't come back..im not irish so was expecting the vetting to take a while but almost 2 months seemed enough.. anyway, I hope there will be another intake.. Good luck to everyone going in September, I hope you will post some info about live in the College.

JonathanP

well done everyone hopefully things will get goin again soon,,,, for those who didnt get through does this mean they are out of the running altogether? I know its a sore subject at the minute

I think most are just delayed until their vetting comes back. I'm sure there will be a few, not necessarily on here, that will fail the vetting but I'd imagine they are very few and far between

so Once you have your physical medical and vettong and you dont get a place in this one youll get one in second place?

Surely Limerick/Galway/Cork will get a percentage. Hardly send all to Dublin! Plus loads I met through the stages are from the capital!

What makes you say this?

ShodenMcClane

"One of the major population centers" I think was the phrase they used in chapter house at stage 3 for where people would be stationed for their first 2 years after their 8 months in Templemore.

Hareton

Congrats to those who got their email

I'd say most will go to Dublin as that's where the most people are looking to get out of. It would make sense to send the new recruits to the DMR and move the people who have had transfers in for the last 6 or 7 years to the likes of Limerick/galway/cork. There's a lot of "country folk" looking to get back closer to the family home.

What a feeling lads!!!!!!!!!!
