    I'd be worried if I didn't have a date by now. 4th - 13th is the testing period

    EDIT: Did you check spam mail?

    I have only received my panel position and nothing else. I was 144 so I'm guessing a while before I hear anything

    Hi guys. Have been following the thread for a while now. I'll be in the second class. Just wanted to et some details on the medical, the hearing test in particular. What kind of inspection did they carry out and did they do an audiometric test? Cheers!

    Have a look back in the last 5-10 pages and you'll find all the information you need re medical and the hearing test

    Please forgive my ignorance. I looked back over the thread. Can't find any info relating to the hearing test. Any first hand information on it? Appreciate any help!

    You're grand. It's a basic hearing test where you sit in a soundproof booth with headphones on and push a button on a handheld device every time you hear a beep. Nothing to worry about unless you have any major hearing difficulties.

    Really appreciate it! I have had a perforated ear drum in the past but it healed up, very mild hearing loss in one ear from using impact drivers. Hopefully won't impact on the test. Thanks for your help!

    Pay (agreed to be) restored to new recruits after 2012.

    How is this allowance paid?

    Do recruits qualify for it or is it only after passing out is another question I suppose.

    Afaik it will be to from day one. A €23k starting job just went up to almont €28k basic with further shift alowance. I bet there is a lot of lads boasting to their wives this evening saying i told you so!

    Might ease the burdon for many familys going through the transition of a parent changing career.

    Don't know. Rent allowance was always the only allowance paid during training along with basic pay. It was abolished for all new entrants in 2012 despite being an integral part of core pay.

    This new agreement is to have it absorbed into core pay which will allow all new entrants to have it. When it happens is another thing

    Yep. I've a feeling it will be a while before it kicks in.
