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

Yep,but remember,we’ve heard this since the start of 2018 aswell plus it was to be January 2019 and now it’s further on.Think it will happen,but just have too wait it out.Cant see it being April as that the next Fulltime intake,so would need to be before that.

At this stage i wish they would just say yes its going to happen or no its never going to happen....

Id say offers will go out feb and we start im march

i'd say there will be a few changes to the Reserve structure for this intake..Going by what was said in the report before Christmas,there may be different powers for reserves and a different approach as to whats expected of the Reserves.

Do ya think more powers or less powers

gem112

More powers,Maybe allowing into units like roads policing,maybe allowed out on your own

Honestly, I have no idea at the moment. I’ve 3 exams between now & the end of May. Will worry about it when I see if I’m even called for training. Until then, I’ll practice my time management skills

jb969665

I'd say more powers and maybe bit more freedom to do more work alone

When it says to confirm with them by email that we are still interested do they send a confirmation email saying they have received the email?

I didn't get a confirmation email..I copied the person and Garda Reserve email address too.
