No sign of interview dates yet, but have a feeling we will find out this week! How is everyone getting on with their interview prep so far?

Were you in the first batch or second batch when you got your results?

The prep is going fine.

I did a course at the weekend which was helpful, and I have a few of my competencies sorted.

I'm going to try out the bleep test later and see how I do.

I just need a date that I can focus on now, and book time off work for.

I heard last weekend that people in the early 200's have gotten dates in mid to late May. I'm in the 600s so i'm not expecting to do the interview untill mid June/ early July.

When did you get your results? Those of us who got them roughly 2 weeks ago are still waiting for a date.

2 weeks ago maybe a bit longer. Im probably just being impatient. I suppose i'll get the email when I get it. Just wanted to confirm I wasnt the only one😅

I did mine over a week ago, the person from Garda HR said results would be issued in 2-3 weeks and they would begin medicals fairly immediately after that.

Thank you for your reply. Did you contact the Garda HR or was that said to you on the day?

Did mine last week, lady said last interviews for the first group are this Friday and that results were hopefully going to be released...

Guys did my interview last week not feeling any way confident as I'm probably one of the youngest but just a pointer they don't ask any tricky questions. One thing I will say is have 2 scenarios ready for each competency 1 long one and then also a shorter one. That's what caught me out! Best of luck guys!

beaker4133

Sorry, that should have said results next week...

Does that mean the results will be this Friday do you think or next Friday?

I wonder will they take a break between the first group & the second group?

I hope not anyways - I reckon we might get dates at some stage next week for those of us who got results in the second batch?

Thoughts people?

I hope they don't take a break, but if they're finished interviews on Friday, they probably will, because nobody is scheduled for next week?

I wonder if the first group will cover the June/ September intakes?

And the rest of us November and the start of 2017?

The worst part is the waiting, but it's better then waiting for results.

I was only going by beaker4133 comment above when he said last interviews for the first group are this Friday.

They must of meant next Friday then.

Good luck with it

The lady from Garda HQ did say that this Friday was the end of the first group of interviews and results would be next week if PAS are on top of things...that's what I was told anyway so I said I'd share it! Best of luck to anyone doing them now or waiting on a date!

MondeoMan92

It could be that the first group of results will be released and that they will continue interviews and then release the results for the second group in a few weeks, followed by the third and fourth etc. Over the coming months in order to keep the recruitment more or less seamless

Jaymayo91

I'm in the mid 300s and I don't see why they haven't at least sent us the forms to be filling in, I doubt it would make any difference to then but would give us more time. They could just give us our date whenever then

Again, quoting the lady from Garda HQ, she said that after interview results were released they'd be moving pretty quickly with medicals and PCTs. Unlike the 2008 campaign where they waited for background checks to be done before starting the meds etc., now they just dive straight into them...hope that's somewhat useful! Congrats to everyone that made it through so far!

Been lurking since the start but didn't want to post til I got this far, just passed the interview stage.

congratulations to everyone who's gotten this far!

I'm jogging and increasing distance to make up stamina, sprinting suicides and doing the beep test to increase speed and gonna start some 1 month challenges for sit-ups and push-ups. I hope it'll be enough!
