Im in the same boat as you,also did mine in April,order of merit just under 100,have you relatives abroad or have you lived abroad?so frustrating

Its very frustrating, I've no relatives abroad and I've never had any problems with the guards. I know for a fact I'm gonna miss out again this time around. My OOM was 15-20 mate and just cant understand how its taking this long.

Omg 15-20 and no ties abroad?wow i wonder what the hold up is,i wonder would it be any use if you got in touch with your local garda station and explained maybe they could be of some help?maybe put a call into hq for you or something?ya judging by the phonecall i had with hr yesterday november is looking extremly unlikely for me

Yea that's what makes it more annoying! placing so well then missing out on an offer. Yea I gonna go down to my local station and see if the Sgt can help me or knows something I don't.

There doesn't seem to be any reasons why my vetting should be taking this long when others have had offers with relatives abroad etc.

Well mate, Sgt wasn't in today so I'll call back down over the next few days. I've never rang HR just emailed so I'm gonna ring them soon to see what the story is.

I'm not holding my breath, I've a feeling I'm gonna be left out again !

Once you did the sit ups was it straight into the press ups or was there any short break allowed?

Did you ring them?

Wax100

Physical on Wednesday and still haven't met locals yet. Placed mid 300s really hoping for November but I think it's unlikely as vetting still isn't back as I rang last week!

Yea I did mate, no luck. It's still outstanding and was no help at all. Just said the process can be lengthy and if you've ever lived outside Ireland it takes longer. But I dunno how vetting comes back quicker from the likes of Australia and not the uk!

Doesn't make sense

So weird I emailed them today and they said my vetting was complete and I had loads of people from uk, New Zealand, Italy and America only submitted my form in August!

I don't know what's going on like. I just seem to be hitting a wall with this every time I ask about it.

That's mad like. I've only ever been in the uk for a couple of years and none of my family ever lived abroad either.

Something is definitely holding you up then and appointments probably don't know what it is either.

They are either waiting for stuff to come back from overseas, or they just haven't cleared you yet for whatever reason.

Ask your parents or whoever if any of your aunts or uncles have a history or anything because it is taking along time, and I've read on boards that people have waited 8-9 months to get a decision.

I haven't a clue what could be holding it up, to the best of my knowledge none of my aunts/uncles have ever lived foreign. No convictions either thank god, but I still don't understand how the system works.

Like you would think that if your file was handed to a single person and was told to "sort that out", they'd have it completed fairly quick.

The thoughts of missing out on November and having to wait till Feb is horrible. Just want to get a move on with my career!!

Chris14

Anybody know of an update on accommodation? What's the story with that the batch after us come. And does anyone know if we're allowed to stay in the college at the weekend ?

Not sure about the batch that arrive after the november group, but I do know that after a few months ye will be moved into digs in nearby accommodation to make room for the next phase of students . everybody has to go home at the weekends, no allowances there as far as I know

You can stay down if you really need to but you won't want to.
You'll want to go home.
You'll make friends and you can car pool if you're concerned about travelling a long distance on your own but you can stay.. you just clear it with the staff and facilities first.

Has a February intake actually been confirmed?

It's accelerated recruitment.

A new class replaces an old class.

Every nine months there will be a new one.

Af88 wrote: »

No I emailed appointments and was told no intakes for 2017 are confirmed yet but I'm sure there will be one, they are usually two months apart

Does anyone have any idea when November offers will come out?

They want to give us a month's notice and the first induction week is the 14th of November so (fingers crossed) this week or definitely next week offers are out.

JimmyBreen

Called HR again today, vetting still not complete... I might be **** out of luck for November.

kerbie_0408, offers will probably be out on the 17th and 24th. They give a month's notice for each induction week.

I'm in the same boat lad! This will be my second intake to miss

JimmyBreen

Same...

It's not the end of the world, I suppose. I'll use the extra time to pay off the rest of my student debt and take a holiday or something.

If we do end up getting in at the same time, we better hang out! And anyone else who interviewed last April!

Ha now ya have it ! At the same time it's going to be like another kick in the face missing out, but there's nothing any of us can do.

I'm definitely being held up by something I just haven't a clue what!

AudiKidd

Has anyone asked them recently when the offers are going to be out?

Gnr_Iver

I thought I saw it somewhere that offers would be out either this Friday the 14th or Friday the 21st.

But its open to correction

It's has to be over the next two weeks, but it would be nice to know when exactly.

I was looking through one of the really old threads from 2008, and they got two months notice before the class started.

Gnr_Iver

Yea 2 months notice would be handy for anyone going in.

Gone be the good days when there was plenty of notice! Id say there was no chasing vetting either ha
