Hi . How are yous. Im new to this board. I was looking up imformation on the garda reserve as i had registered to volunteer when the new recruitment drive started. I was lucky enough to place 4 in wicklow, on that i was invited into stage 2 where a interview was conducted in chapter house with a retired member of the force and a lady from public jobs. Although i was very nervous it went well and i recieved a email a week or 2 after saying i was succesful and i will be now be forwarded onto a medical and garda vetting. I sent my br form in which was sent back due to no date of birth of my grandfather (who i never knew). I disclosed this is a letter. Since then i have heard back nothing. I see from reading through this board that people have had a meeting with there local skipper, im just concerned how my application whi went so quick has came to a hault. Do u recieve a email regarding a meeting with your local skipper or do your local station ring you personaly. I keep thinking maybe its something to do with my br form although iv never been in trouble before. I hope this board and people on it who has been in same situation might have some information. Thanks again.

Oh really ya can’t wait now just after passing the medical so hopefully training will start soon.

Passed the medical there today anyone else pass it today ? Hope we get training dates soon or did anyone else get told about training dates?

Has anyone got a call for a medical in the wicklow area or south dublin.. i was place 4 and have still heard nothing since passing the interview and sending in my br form. In relation to my application who do i ring,? Public jobs or garda HQ ? I think im going to ring monday . The process was going very fast until i passed the interview , since then iv heard nothing. Aupose with the news today that the garda have no money left to pay the full time garda overtime they could look to recruit more reserves. Fingers crossed anyway .

Iv been waiting for at least 3 or 4 months since passing the interview. Have heard nothing since. Very frustrating. I was place 4 in wicklow. Hopefully the speed of the recruitment speeds up
