Ah fair play mate. Jaysus I'm having no luck at all with my vetting clearing. I'm definitely ringing them up in a couple of weeks to find out what's going on.

They've probably forgotten about me even though I was placed in the 15-20 OOM bracket

Thanks. My vetting took fourteen weeks, which is still kinda quick.

They definitely won't forget about you anyway.

Maybe phone them at the start of October and hopefully you'll get good news.

Yea it's Deffo longer than 14 weeks for me at this stage. Yea I'll be ringing them up at the start of the month and asking for some info.

JimmyBreen · 20-09-2016 10:51am

Same for me, Gnr_Iver... rang this morning and vetting isn't complete yet. The lady on the phone said there are two parts to it, and that both are still outstanding.

My hopes for November are slipping, to be honest! Kinda makes me question why they use OOM at all!

Yea that's true. No point trying your best to score well when you run the risk of missing out due to vetting. Keep the fingers crossed lad, hopefully you'll have better luck than I've had to date.

Hey,

Does anybody have any idea on the protocol for social media once we join the gardai......are we required to change our social media names?

You don't have to change your name, however most gardai do as your name is given when in court and when you arrest someone. You cannot post anything about the job though.

Rhyino89 · 26-09-2016 11:47am

I rang up about my vetting last Monday (19th Sept) and luckily enough it had just come back. Mine took a long time to come back as I had to have vetting done in the UK as well. The lady I was speaking too said that its depends on your OMM whether you will be in the November intake once your vetting comes back and if you are successful in getting in the November intake you will be notified about a month in advance. I was in the 200's on the OMM so I'm hoping I will be starting in November.

Passed the physical on Saturday, rang HR to see if there's anything back from my vetting and was told that I need to wait for an offer to know if my vetting has been completed or not

Leaving you in limbo there mate ha. The waiting around is terrible for the nerves

I think the worst thing is waiting around and seeing everyone else get offers like for the September class.

We still have three weeks of waiting until they're out.

Yea that's true mate. You were in the same boat as me weren't you? Outstanding vetting like.. it's horrible feeling being left out ha..

Chris14 · 28-09-2016 1:28am

What OOM can we expect to be reached in the November intake ?

Sworksvenge · 28-09-2016 11:57am

Just wondering what the story is with the vetting? When I met with the sergeant she told me that the background check was all done and nothing came up, does that mean the vetting is done or do they do that at headquarters?

No my vetting is back and clear. I'm just sick of the waiting for an offer, but I know everyday is another day closer.

I still think that from October 17th onwards offers will be out for the first induction week.

God knows.

If you pass everything, and your vetting is back, then you have a good chance, but I know they try and stick to the OOM as much as possible.

What's your OOM?

I'm in the 450s and have been told that I should expect November entry

Gnr_Iver · 28-09-2016 9:25pm

Gardai to strike on the four Fridays in November.

Not sure what form the strikes will come in, but this is going to cause serious headaches for the government. The government needs to start looking after the country's police force.

Don't think Sergeants, Inspectors and upwards are striking

kellz1 · 28-09-2016 9:56pm

Has anyone with relations in the UK gotten their vetting cleared yet? I've been waiting 12 weeks now , starting to lose hope for November.

They are having a conference I think on the 17 of October to discuss the issue. According to RTE

I had my UK vetting cleared after 14 weeks so there's plenty of time.

I think you have a good chance anyway.

Most of the September class came from this campaign, and add in all the deferrals, medical failures, fitness failures, vetting failures, so I think everyone up to the 500's has a good chance once their vetting is back.

I think that November will be the first class of 200?

I heard 400??

Chris14 · 29-09-2016 1:08am

If all the vetting is done and all stages complete by the middle of October surely you'd be slated for November anyway

Vamp369 · 29-09-2016 7:20am

Heard from an inside source in the college that they are struggling to fill the November intake due to failings at the physical and outstanding vetting. If you're all done re vetting you should get an offer.

No it's 200.

We'll be replacing the March class once they pass out.

noelctb · 29-09-2016 2:01pm

Was down at the open day for the physical last Wednesday and the standard of the fitness was embarrassing there.people not been able to get past 10 push ups nd sit ups etc.was talking to a few down there and they said alot of people aren't taking it serious at all and it shows

Yea there are a lot of people out there that underestimate the tests. Unless your big into sports, gym etc then you'll need to be training flat out.

Few people failed the push ups in my group too a couple months back

Ya some people might be able to do the press ups and sit ups separately but when they have to do them together after the beep test its a lot tougher...

Yea unfortunately I'm still waiting to be called. Having no luck at all with my vetting. I'm praying to the high heavens I'll get an offer for November too.

Have you phoned them recently?

Wax100 · 30-09-2016 8:22am

I'm mid 300s and physical is 12th of October. 2 weeks time. Really hoping for November. Feeling it's not gonna happen though.

Good advise but I would go with caution on that one. I wouldn't go flat out each and every day training, you'll give yourseld an injury. I am training every second day. I do about a 2km jog, then sit for 5/7 mins then attempt the push ups and sit ups, I got 32 sit-ups, I don't think it was within 1 min but that's something you can work on or I for that matter, then rested for 1/2 mins then done my push ups, I only reached 15/16, form was about 80% correct. Also trying to lose some weight so it will make it that little bit easier.

Everything else done just haven't asked about my vetting yet. Going to ring up today but not sure of what to say or how to say it? Do I just ask outstraight how my vetting is going?

Yeah, that's good news then so. Anyone know, if you can move onto other stages with the Irish assessment been completed?

Andrew_2222 · 30-09-2016 4:01pm

Did anyone here get an offer for the November class yet I have my physical in the next 3 weeks, fella I know said that a lad in his class did his physical on a Saturday and had to start in templemore the following Monday!

Gnr_Iver · 30-09-2016 4:39pm

Offers for the Novembers class won't be out until mid October .

psy2016 · 01-10-2016 10:36am

Hi everyone. Just asking if anyone has any idea if there's any chance they might cut from this campaign as soon as people are ready to go from this months new campaign? I have all passed waiting on medical & fitness.

God no.

It's accelerated recruitment.

The 2016 competition will fill the September, November, and February classes.

Pearse1879 · 01-10-2016 6:16pm

Hi, got totally freaked yesterday when speaking to group who are waiting for dates to repeat the beep test and no one was able to give me answer in relation to the amount of times you can repeat your physical. Does anyone know how many times you can repeat? oh and they were talking about appeals too, does anyone know about the appeals process? Thanks to anyone who replies!

You can repeat it once I'm sure.

Any more then that and it's a joke, because anybody who is serious about joining up shouldn't need three attempts to pass.

They have the fitness test throughout the course in templemore so it's important to maintain a good level of fitness.

I think though if you fail the fitness they organise a date three months later to make sure your fitness had improved.

Are you repeating it?
