Hi,
I passed my medical about 2 months ago and I haven't heard anything since. Is this normal?

That's a bit of a longish wait but understandable because medical deferals like myself from jan/feb are now elligible for the fitness test before you.

No harm contacting HRM just to follow up with them.

Thank you, I'll ring them tomorrow. Hopefully they'll give me some kind of answer

Superintendent interview done. 3/4 minutes, half dozen questions left me thinking it wasn't looking promising then he says 'it all looks good, I'll send this on so'.
Similar to anyone else's experience?

Seems as good as you could hope for if he says it all looks good..

Keeper34

Hopefully I can get the physical done soon!

Can you remember what questions he asked you please ?

Keeper34

About where I went to college, where I work now, what I do to keep fit. I named a current reference who is a serving Garda & he asked how I knew him. Asked about my age too because as you probably guessed I'm 34.

Damo1988

well lads. had my medical back in March and failed the eyesight. got the laser eye surgery done and have it over me about 2 months now. still have to do the physical and meet with my super. guessing i can kiss the august intake goodbye??

Keeper34

How many arrests do you reckon a Garda makes per shift? (On average).

Im the same. Been waiting a while.

Keeper34

Nope, still waiting. People here have said ring HR & ask to go on a cancellation list but I'm hesitant to do that as I'm not confident enough about the push ups.

Have my medical coming up my bmi is 33.7 5ft 8 femal atm but includes high percentage of muscle as I play high level of sport. Any one know is the bmi automatic fail or have I a chance?

kinsellacoon

Lads I passed my physical on may 13 and I've heard nothing since. Does anyone have any clue when I could expect any word?

The Red Lad

Meeting sergeant tomorrow anybody any advice ? I take it suit up?

Keeper34

Definitely suit up.
My sergeant interview was very casual. Lots of questions about what the recruitment process involved 'as it's so different now to when they joined'. Lasted about half an hour.

Did you pass your medical with a BMI of 30?

The Red Lad

Can anyone tell me is your meeting with the Super Intendant much different then meeting the Sergent. Is there any prepping I should be doing for this or questions that I could be asked?

Keeper34

My sergeant interview was very informal and took around 20/30 mins.

Superintendent interview was about 3 minutes long, very formal. Asked about what I did in college, what I do for a living and what I do to keep fit.

Has anyone had any difficulty getting replies from the medical office? I did my medical back in March but was deferred because I failed the eyesight section of the medical. Got lasik surgery and submitted the details of my surgery. Have completed every other stage so just waiting to do my physical but haven't gotten any acknowledgement of the information I sent in from my surgeon confirming my improved eyesight. Have sent several emails but getting no response.

Hi all,

My file has been sent to my local Garda station since the 9th of June HRM were able to tell me that.

However, I have still not heard from my local station I even rang the district office to speak to the Super to be proactive as possible about it and all they said is expect a date soon for him to meet me.

How long were you waiting for to meet up with your local station between the stages?

Anyone here from the Cork City area and meet up with there local station?

My OOM is low 600s

Thanks.

it will happen. but considering rest of the posts- this will happen faster if you nudge HR. i was waiting over a month for super/ serg until i call hr and they had no idea but i got a call for both withing a week after another.
