Same. So disappointed. OOM between 20 and 40 so I was pretty hopeful. I guess it's at least another two months in a job I hate!

What is the holdup with your vetting guys?

Have you lived abroad or do you have family abroad?

I'd expect that your vetting in Ireland should be quick

Yeah, I live in the UK at the minute! I imagine that's the problem.

Just guessing by yere oom numbers ye are in the 2016 campaign? There is still a lot of 2013 still to get through and it may be a long wait for vetting regardless of your oom.

I think it's just vetting that's the problem, not the campaign. People from this campaign with higher (50+) OOMs have gotten offers for September. But it's just a delay, we're all in eventually!

I had a lot of people of mine but mainly Ireland and a few in England didn't think it would take this long though

The vetting procedure as a whole needs to be sorted, it's far too slow

Holy god your so right. Passed interview last December and physical in May.
Why is this process so long?

The vetting problem I'd hazard a guess at is having relatives abroad unfortunately. I'm 50s in the OOM, passed all, met the Super and still waiting. Although November suits myself better. Here's hoping.

Ah stop! I don't have my medical for another week!! I heard April was third intake ..... I don't wanna wait til then

I have a close family member living in Asia. How are they suppost to vet them? Contact the police over there? I know it's going to f*ck me up big time.

I've seen some people on this forum waiting 8 months to be cleared.

I haven't even met my local Gardai yet, but I have my fitness on Wednesday.

Yea it's abit ridiculous, fair enough some people get through and fair play but it doesn't seem consistent to me at all.

It can really hinder people's chances of progressing, after waiting this long and then to find out you've to wait longer is shocking

I just have one relative in America and my vetting isn't complete. 2 more months in work I'm not looking forward to!

The instructors told us when we were down for the PCT and id say the sargeants are telling people at stage 2 induction talks by now

Gnr_Iver

Hopefully my vetting will be back by the time the second induction offers are out. That's the last chance for September so fingers crossed

Anyone able to tell me what is the likely time for intake if you have your medical this week??? Still to do the Physical test and meeting my local sergeant at the weekend

Loradublin

Hey I have my medical Monday but haven't heard anything about meeting the local sergeant? I never knew it was a thing we had to do in general until I read these threads. Do they contact you or how did you get a meeting? Thanks.

AM11

They'll call you to arrange it. Theres no specific time frame for it, it varies by the station. I dont think anyone would know about the meetings if it wasnt for this thread!

Most likely November intake.

Anyone, who's in for induction 29th Aug, get their Info Packs today? I hoped they'd be here this morning

beaker4133

Rang up today just to see what the story with my application was. Lady on the phone said they were still waiting on the local checks to come back which makes sense, because I haven't met the super yet. Everything else is done though...she said that if I managed to meet the super in the next week there is only a very slight chance I could make September, so I'd imagine they must nearly have the numbers. So for people who've met the local lads a while ago etc., it doesn't necessarily mean all your vetting has been completed...Anyway just the info I got today so said I'd share! Here's to waiting for November...

I called yesterday and my vetting wasn't complete....just got the email inviting me to induction week 2, delighted!
