Hi all,

I recieved an offer for Jan 2018......and I don't know what I'm going to do. My wife was due our first child last week (hasn't arrived yet!) I really don't want to be leaving a new mother and 3/4 week old baby behind for 5 or 6 months but I'm also nervous about deferring as I'm 35 so this is my last chance. How do Garda HRM deal with or react to this kind of situation?

It's in the small print if you defer there's no guarantee of another offer.
Thanks.

Ring HRM and explain the situation they're a nice bunch of people.

Best of luck to everyone who received offers for the February intake....for the rest of us I started a new thread for April 2018. Patience comes to mind

In a very similar situation myself, mid 30's with baby on the way in March. Will be ringing HR later, let us know how you get on.

Keeper - I've been thinking of your situation overnight- here's thoughts - has the baby's mother any support besides you. For the first couple of months babies just eat and sleep. I think you would miss more in the baby life when it's a bit older. He:she will sleep less move more so be more trouble and really take notice of things. I think you should get it over and done with. You too limerick . There's plenty of families where one partner is away. TAke advantage of the special allowances you will be given.

I seem harsh but what these babies need is security of a permanent Garda job. It's too risky

Thats a late one for HRM. They hey a lot of pressure and in spite of it are always friendly and polite. Well done anyone who has an offer now gear up and get ready for the big day.

Congrats to all who got good news. To everyone still waiting, hang in there. I know its tough but its going to happen just keep believing.

Any idea when we'll receive the information pack?

Keeper34

Thanks all for the previous input. I called HRM and they said reply to the email I got outlining why I wish to defer. I should hopefully hear tomorrow though I made sure to make it clear I didn't want to lose my place.

Rosielass

Just got a mail an hour ago! I’m absolutely stunned, can someone help me out though, in the subject line it’s say Monday 22nd of January but in the body of the mail it says Monday the 15th? Have any of you had the same issue?

Tried calling but I spose der finished for Xmas now, I can’t give much notice at work now either, so stunned, my oom was mid 800s so I had myself prepared for April instead

NeeNawNeeNaw

Congratulations to everyone who got in, for those of you still waiting like myself, your time will come.
Friend of mine was among the offers given last week but they were still in college and were planning to defer. However Garda HQ told them that they couldn't for this reason. Just thought I'd let ye know in case anyone else might be in the same situation for future offers, it might not be an option for current college students.
Best of luck in templemore everyone!
