KazzieLou I'm not saying you are lying but you are definitely incorrect in some of the things you are saying.

Anyone from the recruitment drive in 2014 that was not inducted was advised they would have to begin the process again.

I'm on about the fact that people from the 2014 recruitment drive were told they were no longer on panels for induction and would have to reapply.

People are only kept on a panel for a set time. Sometimes it's months. Sometimes it's years.

Well I haven't heard that from them just to be patient, but I'm guessing you would know everything because you've been waiting so long yeah? You don't know how they work the ones who got there email's are lucky enough to get through if not like me you'll all be waiting along time.

You assume I'm also waiting to begin recruit training but you are way wrong.

And I certainly don't think I know everything.

So unless you hear it from someone in charge of recruitment you won't accept it?? Good man, you'll be a long time waiting for that call.

No worries guys. Just offering some input that sadly doesn't seem to be coming from official channels. Do what ye will with the info but if ye have been waiting nearly 3 years during three subsequent recruitment drives since you applied the message should be pretty clear by now.

Some of ye think the DF actually cares that ye have been waiting so long.

FWIW the reason I know about 2014 people is that a family member of mine who applied back then and was successful in the application process was told to reapply and he did this year.

You think they are putting you on the long finger as some sort of test of your patience and resolve??

Whoever told you this has done you a great disservice.

So if your not in the recruitment process then why the hell are you even commenting on this status 😂🙌

Relax.

That 'theory' of his is not true at all.

The army are not trying to weed out impatient people by making ye wait years for induction.

You can put that one to bed/file it under B for bullsh1t.

Tomorrow's Saturday.

Wait until Monday. Drive north. Go to the first recruitment office you find. Sign on the dotted line. You will be in a recruit platoon before Christmas.

Right lads just rang there and this is what I'm told. They lads in the 2brigade manpower office send out offers to people who they get all the documents back from Kildare in the DOD and they have no power in changing anything he told be to write a letter to then under the freedom of information act and that that is my best bet to see where my application is. There must be some **** up there then 👌🻠I'm going to write this letter to them and wait until November because I hear they are doing inductions then and if I don't get called I'm joining the brits. Serious amount of stress trying to severe your contry well if the don't want me England will have me no bother.

They are saying that they are getting 100s of calls in there saying people who have relatives in the army are on the same boat and no one is happy

when I rang up they told me my garda vetting wasn't back , I then got onto the garda vetting crowd and they told me they had signed off on it and sent it back to the army ages ago , whats the story with that?
