I got called to physical this Friday there last week. Had medical 2 weeks ago, and had the open day 2 weeks previous to that. Meeting the super this week too supposedly!

Good to hear, could be partying with the rest of us in January.

Keep checking your emails too. I got an email asking me to call them. They didnt actually call me.
That was last thursday...

Thanks! Don't worry I am constantly checking! They told me early last week that they were waiting on local checks. I should have asked them what they meant by that. O well the waiting game continues. Congrats on getting the call:) Thanks for your reply.

Well I rang them before the email too, about 3 or 4 weeks ago, and she said; 'your file is almost finished'. It sounds similar to what youre saying. Theres still plenty of time left, so dont be too worried. Youre welcome!

For the people who have got the call about the 26th.. Do you think it's safe to hand in our notice in work ? Wouldn't mind leaving before Christmas.

It's a probable date......could be early or even couple of weeks later. They will give the call eventually:). If I was to give an opinion I would said that depend very much on your financial circumstances.

Just yesterday. I know that the waiting is getting to us but have faith ( easy to say than do.... I was going out of my mind ))). Plenty of time until next intake , they will call.

You're ahead of me in Merit, I got called two weeks ago about January 26th.

Everytime

From what I got told they need 100 people's vetting cleared before they announce anything. If they have 101 or above people by the date of announcement it will go down to order of merit. If your below 350 then your safe either way as long as your vetting is back !

Cheers for the reply lads, was just quizzing to see if anyone had an idea of where abouts the merit was at after first 200?? All depends on how many defferals and people fail medicals/fitness aswell. Hopefully lucky plz god

Everytime

Band 1 finished in around 250 mark! Some of them still remain to be called but also there's a few from the 300s taken so you can say if you're in the top 350 and get the call that your vettings cleared you're safe to be going in, otherwise you have to sit and hope but there's every possibility !

Got the call yesterday, said would hopefully have an email sent by the end of Dec or early Jan at the latest,she seemed very optimistic that it is going to be the 26th of Jan start date, but obviously couldn't confirm that it would be until its approved by the powers above.

Anyone else from group one still waiting to hear something?
Passed the interview in the 230s and attended the information day back in May, had my meeting with the super and haven't heard anything since.
Rang HRM once and was just told that my file was being prepared.

Starting to get a bit worried now that 3 classes have been filled.

Ye im from group one but I have done my physical and medical and was told last week its only my vetting that is holding things up. The January class isn't full up yet so you should ring them and find out what is happening.

I'm same as u. Don't have physical or medical done either. Think I'm gonna give up on it and try for another job.

I was made redundant back in September and thought I'd just have a few weeks to relax before going down to Templemore. I'm going a bit mad staying at home every day now but nobody wants to hire somebody who could be called to start training in Templemore any day

I think other peoples ambitions are irrelevant to him. He should be looking for a job regardless of his position in the competition. Always have contingencies. Even though i'm set to start training this month, what if i have an accident and break a leg or something, i won't be able to start training, and be out of the job. Job hunting takes time so it's better to have a head start on leads and potential positions than start from scratch if he finds out he outta the competition.

Ya I'm in the same boat did my interview in May and finished in the first 80, passed medical and physical just waiting on garda vetting. It's getting very frustrating but still hopeful for getting a call to start the end of January, fingers crossed!

Kablamo!

Could someone please Pm me the email address of HR? Can't put my hands on it and need to get in touch regarding details of my failed medical
