Garda Trainee Class May 2017

Thought I'd create this thread for any of us that are hoping to be offered a place in the may intake. Have everything done myself and I'm predicting offers to be out around Paddy's day.

I would say you are right as they need to give applicants the chance to give at least a months notice in their place of work

Offers will be out by Paddys Day at the latest..

Paddy's day gives people 6 weeks notice - has this been the norm to date? I was under the impression that 4 weeks was the typical notice period?

Anyone here still without a date for medical hoping to get into the May intake or would that be possible? Was told it would be more likely August for us

Possibly if you have had pct already and met super and sergeant, if not I would think more likely August

Great more guards coming to stand at checkpoints and screw people for having their tax out of date by a few days. Dont think the majority of the public have much respect left for guards you will be dissapointed if you think differently.

I'm starting to think that it's looking like August for me now at this stage. The maths doesn't add up for May now. Everything is just moving so slowly it's literally unbelievable to think I started this in 2015 :pac:

Anyone know what the date of starting is in August?

Firstly you have 2 months to get your car tax in order, not 'a few days' as you put it.

Secondly, post that in the motors forum and see if you come back alive.

Thirdly, The more checkpoints the better to keep the loons off the road, generally if you do not have tax on your car you tent to not give a **** about other important things like insurance/NCT or generally following the rules of the road.

Well said, once you keep your car up to date, you will have no problem with the law.

Give your district office a ring, they'll be of more help than the station number, you can find the number on the garda website or tell me your district and i'll post it here for you

Keep positive, it could happen yet as seems to be movement this week. I can understand your frustration and think it would be so useful if there was a way to check progress and that would give a good indication and allow planning holidays and life in general. You have the patience of a saint and fingers crossed you get some news soon

Thanks so much for that. Do you know at what stage you get called to meet them, is it when vetting complete or can it be at any stage, I've tried looking for timelines but can't find any in relation to this

You can meet them at any stage after the interview, they don't need to happen before any stage and it won't hold up your vetting, there has been lads on here that have met with their superintendent and been offered a place in templemore half an hour later.

Oh right, thanks for that, she asked a couple of weeks ago about vetting and they just said it was in progress so that's good to know

Everything finished! Big weight off the shoulders having everything done. Just hope the vetting clears up by may and hopefully I get the call. Feels like so long ago when I applied.

Good stuff I know you've been waiting even longer than I have. Do you know if your vetting is all clear?

+1 for May hopefully. Everything else done. Hoping vetting is completed in time for offers.

I'm in 1200s from Jan 2016 campaign. You?

tomcwn

I'm early 1000's. There still seems to be alot of people from that campaign. Here's hoping for May.

I'm mid 1100's and was told on phone other day I'll more than likely be may, and that they'll probably have to take some people from the September campaign, so if you have everything passed and you're in the January campaign you can safely say you'll make May

Wax100

I'm low 300s. And I think there's a few more down here with me from 2015.

I'm terrified to assume it!!!

Gnr_Iver

2015 myself and the fact that they're taking people from September to fill vacancies is still hard to swallow. Considering how many of us have been waiting around for months on end

I really, genuinely hope you make May.
The wait has been a killer.. and it's galling to see September campaign giving out about things taking ages. They have no idea!!

800s from 2015 myself.

True that!ha

Like I really enjoyed going through the stages last year. I was fairly lucky with time frames never exceeding 2-3wks Yano, but when things started to go wrong with the vetting it took every ounce of me to stay positive.

I've been posting on boards for months now and although the wait has been terrible and ruined a few plans I had, I wish all gone in before me all the best in the future careers within AGS

I had my fitness yesterday and I met the Super today. I asked him about how exactly does the vetting work. He told me that the Sergeant would have done her own bit and pieces and that the biggest part of the vetting will only begin now as he has sent off my application to them. He said that it would be unlikely for it to be all complete on time for me to make the May intake, and I have neither lived abroad myself nor my relatives.

Do you mind me asking what campaign you are from?
