Has anyone heard anything from HR regarding the status of their vetting clearance? ive heard nothing and none of my references have been contacted yet either. I don't know why its taking so long. Id be heartbroken if I missed out on the September intake due to the vetting not being completed.:(

During my interview with the super and sergeant they told me my references were contacted. For me the sergeant contacts your reference.
I'm in the same boat haven't heard anything sent an email yesterday asking when I will.

It's true

Gnr_Iver

This bunk beds thing is a disgrace. You wouldn't mind if the rooms were a half decent size

I emailed them there and they just said my vetting was ongoing, I had a lot of people on it so hopefully it'll be done for September

I think an adventurous jousting match would suffice to claim own ship of the top bunk

Do you think they'd let us use the escort bikes and some of the Public Order batons?

Oh absolutely. It's actually what there used for. Might borrow the Red Man and go hell for leather

How many rooms roughly have bunk beds?

They're tight enough rooms to fit bunk beds in!

Was told September intake is 250.
When would the invite emails go out or have they already gone?

Gnr_Iver

Offers will be out next week I think

Who told you that if you don't mind me asking?

150 or 200 were the original numbers that where being said. I do hope your correct though.

There are fitness tests on Wednesday the 3rd, and 10th. I think they will be out soon after them.

Hi Audikid got this info from another applicant. Don't know who told him, but he's normally reliable.

Well if they are building bunk beds then it might be true. Thanks for the info anyway. Hopefully its not just a rumour.

Where abouts are you in the OOM Im 230's

MondeoMan92

If the intake is 250 then anyone upto 300's should be expecting offers. As long as they have all their vetting and all is complete

Everyone is talking about it, people have supposedly seen it, and at the recent stage 2 orientation the Gardai said it, so it must be true.

Its a good thing.

The more bunks, the more student Gardai

I've seen a picture of the bunk beds in the women's dorms and my god are they tiny they're like childrens bunk beds!

The 2013 list isn't exhausted yet. So I imagine they will have to clear that first before the 2016 trawl can start.

At least someone hasn't forgotten about the 2013 campaign

MondeoMan92

Does anyone know how many arw actually left from the last campaign? I reckon many of them will have started earlier this year in the last 2 phases to go down so there can't be that many left

Reserve Stream too...some are in already, some are to go in next intake.

belftw

The real questions are how far are they on the 2013 order of merit list?
How many are left on this list?

Just got a notification from PAS...I passed the interview! Delighted, I didn't think it went well at all, I had kind of conceded that I failed! And I didn't think that I would get any word back til late next week.

Gnr_Iver

Vetting still isn't cleared yet according to HR. They couldn't say if I'd make the sept intake. I don't think I'll be getting an offer next week so.

Absolutely f**king bullin
