Parade shoes were the most expensive. €70 odd quid.
Depends how much tracksuit bits you buy.There's bottoms, top and 2 types or tshirts. Shirts aswell. €200 should cover you.

I'd say to anyone who knows they are on the way here to save save save ! The extra few €uros is always nice.

Hi, I'm heading down on the 27th anyone have an idea about when we have to be on campus during the week, i.e do we have to be in by 11pm on Sunday or can we travel from home Monday morning in time for lectures etc. Thanks.

I'm pretty sure they allow for one renegade cop that does things his own way but always gets the job done!!! Solidify your self as this guy and it's all up to you

You can travel from home Monday morning (or any morning for that matter) as long as you're on time for 9am. Many would go home on a Tuesday or Wednesday to split the week up.

Any word back on vetting?! Last I heard from them they were still waiting to hear back from Australia to complete my vetting but that was 3 weeks before the July intake, hoping it will be completed by October but has anyone heard back from HRM about outstanding vetting?

Once you're there 9-5, you can come and go as you please... You can stay on or off campus as many nights as you want.

3 dropped out of the 142 intake for one reason or another, 97 graduated today.

Lads, just looking at your timetable. I think it's ok for you to arrive anytime before Noon on monday. I'm not sure what the email invitation said for you guys, but for my intake we were allowed bring the family into the college to have a look around before they leave you there for 9 months
Just make sure before you come in late and get in trouble.

Your first class is scheduled for 2pm which is Registration.

Don't forget to bring your original Birth Cert and any Marriage certs you may have.

Can't remember if you need all your other qualifications and documents, but might not hurt to have them with you.

Good news for Class 3(C), you're the first ones to be graded in the swimming pool on tuesday, have fun

Do the family get a tour or what happens??

When I came into the college, I was shown to my room by a member of the 142 intake. He didn't give a tour, but if I'd asked, he probably would have.

Since the 142's just passed out today, my intake is now the Senior phase. We have not been timetabled to greet you guys, but usually here's a last minute request for us to show you to your room or around the campus.
Actually, two classes have an hour timetabled for welcoming the new trainees from 11am to 1pm.

If there are 151 students showing you to your room, ask them for a quick tour for your family. They'll do it if they've time.

There's a Museum that might be open, which is quite interesting, there should be free Tea/Coffee and biscuits, maybe sandwiches if they're generous. You can get lunch in the Canteen (not free) or go down the town to get food.

For food, go to Murphy's or the Templemore Arms hotel, or for a smaller lunch + coffee, go to Cafe en Main. They're all on the main street near enough to the Garda Station.

From what I gather from the email we cam show up anytime from 11 till 2(when reg starts)

Yea. Go with the suits. 100%. You want to look smart. Plenty of time to be wearing tracksuits and runners in the evening.

You'll be in the uniform when you get it so may get used to getting properly dressed.

Best of Luck

No Donegal lads were sent to Cork.
2 Dubs going to Waterford.

bit of advice, dont bring a load of stuff on monday. just bring enough clothes to last you the week and bring what u need week to week. the room is too smal to fill it with stuff you dont need. any questions about the college, send me a pm

Is it still the case you can state your two preferred districts and they aim to locate you somewhat close to where you put down? or is it a random allocation?

That's not the case at all. Its random.
If you have kids or a welfare issue you can send a welfare report and hope you get close to home. You'd need all your documents for that though. Marriage certs, children's birth certs etc.

Does anyone have an idea about what we'll be wearing all week during the day? I only have one suit but do you think you'd get away with smart casual?
