    Aw not too bad as long as there is parking close enough. Were you waiting with many people or were you given a slot and you were the only going through medical at the time ?

    You wait in a room with a good few others and just wait until you're called. Most people are in and out with the doctor in 5 or 10 minutes

    I passed my medical last week and I emailed HRM yesterday about my physical because I'm away for 2 weeks in September. They were very considerate and helpful and she gave me a provisional date for September 29th.

    Well I imagine any delays are due to shortness of staff and especially with weekly reports of Gardaí being attacked and subsequently out sick to recover...

    http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/news/garda-undergoes-facial-surgery-after-vicious-assault-by-youths-31499543.html

    "One of the officers was released yesterday afternoon after treatment for a broken nose, while the second officer underwent surgery to his face last night to treat a broken jaw."

    And of course the incident in Balbriggan last weekend were one Garda had his hip crushed and 3 others also injured...

    Think it's obvious what our views would be, but I myself am focusing on the bigger picture and expecting to face some very tough first years in what will hopefully be a long career with long term benefits/opportunities to outweigh the initial bumpy road.

    If the rent allowance or accommodation was re-instated or provided it would be a huge relief but I would not expect anything and even if something was to be done it would not be anytime soon.

    I mean look at the housing crisis in Dublin, they knew there was a lack of rental properties for students and nothing has been done there and students are deferring for a year or taking their second offers as the reality of studying in the city is just not a realistic option.

    Its already perfect. They still need to refer to my consultant (even though I have a letter from himself giving all necessary details). I'm the first diabetic entering since they lifted the blanket ban in 2008 according to Diabetes Ireland, so they're really playing it safe around me ha.
    Bye bye 2015s intake anyway.
    Ill suppose ill have to see some of yee in a station rather than templemore ;)

    They look in your mouth if there's any problems you'd be pulled up on it
