Hyneser03 · 03-01-2019 12:11pm

Just curious do they send an email or is it by post they invite you for training?

Willm5499 · 03-01-2019 10:34pm

Not yet but looks like the age limit is definitely going ahead....

You get an email with the dates.You’ll be asked to confirm that you can attend for training.

Hyneser03 · 07-01-2019 12:00pm

I wonder will we hear anything this week

gem112 · 07-01-2019 12:03pm

Dont think we will hear for another few weeks......im thinking middle of February before we hear anything

Rebelkid · 07-01-2019 6:09pm

Didn't somebody on here ring appointments before Christmas and they confirmed there would be an intake early 2019?

gem112 · 07-01-2019 6:11pm

March is still early 2019....lol

Rebelkid · 07-01-2019 6:56pm

Very true but hopefully not haha

Joonnor212 · 07-01-2019 7:29pm

I think the next full time Garda training is in April, so should be before then!

gem112 · 07-01-2019 9:42pm

I would hope so too

Ok I have a bit of news that might ease the frustration of us all waiting soooo long.. I was on to HR in HQ yesterday and they said only 1 or 2 more small checks on the vetting to be done. Like most this is a broken record by now. I was then speaking to a friend who works in HQ and he said he made an enquiry today and was told HR is in a bit of disarray at the moment. You probably know John Barrett was suspended a while ago and also there's 2 thirds of a sergeants list been promoted and about half of an inspectors list promoted with the rest all to follow. There's been a lot of pressure to get sergeants back out in stations due to lack of supervisors so unfortunately all of that has had a knock on effect on external recruitment but hopefully it all gets sorted soon. SO HOPEFULLY WE WILL HEAR SOMETHING SOON.....

I wonder will we hear anything this week hopefully

I was just thinking the same this morning but I’d be saying it will be the end of January if we hear from them. That way with notification and training we would be finished for the end March.

PurplePrincess · 14-01-2019 1:14pm

I'm thinking it's unlikely we'd be called for Feb at this stage? I'd struggle to get the time off and I'd be gutted to wait this long and then have to turn down a place.

gem112 · 14-01-2019 1:16pm

Depends on what way they structure the training

Under the Garda Síochána Act 2005, the allocation of resources including the recruitment and training of Garda members and members of the Garda Reserve is entirely a matter for the Garda Commissioner and I, as Minister, have no responsibility in this matter.
An Garda Síochána has indicated that a training class of approximately 100 Garda Reserves will commence training in the first quarter of 2019.
It should also be noted that to inform future decisions around the use of the Reserve, An Garda Síochána is currently conducting a strategic review as a matter of priority. This approach is in line with the recommendation in the Report of the Commission on the Future of Policing in Ireland.
On 18 December 2018, the Government endorsed the report of the Commission on the Future of Policing in Ireland and agreed to accept all 157 key recommendations contained in the report, including those related to the Garda Reserve. On 18 December 2018 I also published a four year high level plan, ‘A Policing Service for the Future’, which sets out the approach to implementation of the Commission's recommendations. The Strategic Review of the Garda Reserve will be one of the key issues advanced throughout 2019

That’s good news that it’s going to be between now and April for training
