    Sent an email to HRPD.vetting@garda.ie asking what's next as everything seems very quiet.

    Will update when I get a response.

    Got 2 emails today.

    1st from HR saying that this is strand 1 of 3 and can take 10 to 12 weeks to complete.

    2nd email from Evetting saying that 'Disclosure Viewed' which I am assuming is the Garda HR having viewed the result. So I believe that that part is not completed unless anyone else has any ideas?

    I wouldn't hold my breath. I am in a different competition with far less people and it's been 6 weeks since my vetting was completed and no movement since. These things tend to take a long time, nothing you can do but wait.

    Here's a random but important one. Would anybody happen to know if the credit union is the same here as the overall civil service one 🀔? Or is it a case that its completely different for Garda civilians? Any info be highly appreciated 👌

    AGS have 2 Credit Unions, separate to the wider Public Service, but only St Raphaels is open to Garda civilian employees, AFAIK.

    I have a question...

    With the 4 days on 4 off etc., how would the average month look?

    If I was to work my 4 days, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday... Is Thursday my first night off? Would I be rostered on on Monday night or Tuesday night of the following week?

    My understanding - and I'm probably wrong! - is that its two days and two nights, so in your example you would be Monday 7am to 7pm, Tuesday 7 am to 7pm, Wednesday 7pm to Thursday 7 am, and Thursday 7 pm to Friday 7 am.

    Friday is your first day off and you would return on Tuesday morning at 7am.

    Again I could be completely wrong, but thats what I took from my interview.

    That would be my understanding too. Each shift would start a day later every week.

    Is it looking like a 7-7 12 hour shift?

    Yeah I think so, I originally thought it was 8, but I asked at the interview and my interviewer said 7.

    Thanks for the help guys! Got another job offer, so every detail became very important.

    Two days followed by two nights sounds pretty good. I was under the impression that I'd have to go four days without seeing the little ones. Glad that's not the case.

    i currently work for a company funded by the government and i can say that both jobs are equally secure, shift work takes its toll but the allowance makes the pay very good. i you get a job that is not shift and still similar pay i would take the non shift job, thats just me. unfortunately i am withdrawing my application as im moving to England.
