“Ofestiniog yet” ? What you mean
I ranch HR today and they still don’t know any dates yet as usual

Forget about OOM's.They mean nothing at this stage.You could have OOM of 1,and someone with a higher OOM could be in long before you.Its down to vetting and how much needs to be checked on you BR Form.

gem112

Fair enough...

As I said was talking to them last week and everything is back and they are happy with it....just waiting on the email for a medical

Idk what the hell is going on..

My interview was the 9th september and i passed... Placed 7 in Sligo/Leitrim...

3 months later and still no medical.. They have to be the slowest force to move applications.. Idc that the full time are taking on at the same time.. because ive applied for that too and im at the same stage as the reserves with the full time.. Placed 404... And no medical only an invitation to the college..which is on the 6th of january to go over the Push pull machine..obsticle course..a tour.. and all that is conducted for the physical..

Like is somone asleep at the wheel here or whats the craic like.. Why invite people to the college to "try out for the physical" and try the machines and get a tour when we HAVENT EVEN DONE A MEDICAL..... What is going on....

Its a joke lad.. They want good decent people for the job but they cant even give straight answers or facts regarding.. Training ... Etc.. I had to leave my job because they wouldnt give me time off to do the tests. .

Guys me and two other posters have been telling ya all for months now how slow it is we have been in the recruitment process for years, put on waiting list and what not. Just get on with it and don't focus on it to much and certainly don't put your life on hold. They are extremely slow and if they say January expect it to be May or June.

Sure i know well but they come back each year telling us "theres gonna be a big push" with recruitment... You have a good point... The full time process is almost tge same..

It’s ridiculous like if they keep delaying it they won’t get 2000 members by by 2021

I was thinking the exact same thing their tonight, it's looking blue for a class being formed for jan/ feb, I don't think they will meetc the 2000 target by 2021? In my opinion.

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

Hey there, did you follow up on this? I’m in a similar situation, I placed 1 in Monaghan and did the interview in Dublin and received an email two days later, I sent in my br form and that’s the last I’ve heard. Put it to the back of my mind as best I could but I would like some indication on it. I called the hr dept a few months back and was told to wait! Just wondered if anyone else was in the area with a similar situation?

Was this for the reserves? Have you had your interview in the local station? I have not even reached that stage. When I see the stage some candidates are at now, I am feeling a little bit in limbo. I will just call and try to chase it a little.

Is it possible to apply for the Garda Reserve if you are still 17 but would be 18 at time of been recruited. I will be 18 in December 2018 and am worried the next GR recruitment campaign will be before this and I'll have to wait an extra year, I've heard the application process is slow so what things could I do now to prepare for interviews, assessments etc. and what tests will be carried out?

Thanks.

I'm waiting on a medical myself, I honestly can't see there being a class this month if they don't get more medicals done, they usually get 20 people done on medical days and there has only been one so far, so for there to be a class they would need to be 3 or 4 more.

Think they are trying to get the full time done asap for the upcoming classes.....
