No, I'm actually Dublin. No rhyme or reason to the process it seems..

Galway candidates- local paper today reports that the official opening of the headquarters is tomorrow so it will be ready for whenever we’re eventually starting anyway!

‘It is also expected that later this year the new HQ will house the control unit for all emergency calls made in both the Western and Northern Garda regions.’
Wonder what later this year means!!!!!

A colleague of mine with a contact in Garda Vetting told me they are prioritising us as they want to start the training for us in September

Kablamo!

I'd imagine we'll be contacted next week.

Prioritising control centre rolls or the information centre rolls or both? The lack of information and the waiting is getting ridiculous at this stage!

There is a God if this is true �� I think it's fair to say everyone is running out of hope and patience at this stage

I rang yesterday see if any update. Absolutely none. They will probably get us to have the hearing test ourselves and bring the results in, she said. No dates mentioned....

I emailed and got an answer today. Apparently I have completed the first 2 strands of the security clearance. They didn't say what the strands were or what the 3rd strand entailed....but this final strand is not conducted in their office. It is usually done quite quickly but they again warned that the whole process can take up to 12 weeks.

That's all I have..

Who did you Emil Garda HR or public jobs?

Yes the 3rd strand is the hearing test.

OK, that should be straight forward enough if they start it soon....

I was in Galway today and I saw the new Garda HQ! It’s unbelievable- looks fab!
I think we will hear from them next week or definitely after the bank Holiday

Lads I know ye are running out of patience but this campaign is not any slower than usual. I have gone through two of these comps since 2016 and both times it's been 8-10 months between application and assignment and I was top of one comp and top four of the other. Both times I was placed with AGS and the one that was ten months didn't even include vetting as it didn't need to be done again!

And galway people, I don't think the comms room is even done yet haha

DaylightDies

Yeah, even though Vetting was completed in a similar timeframe to ours, two clerical officers in our Garda Barracks took a few months after being assigned to here before they started and it was known they were coming months in advance.

I know ur right - to be fair it’s much quicker than the county council - we were waiting 18 months from first test to start of job. I’m just so anxious to hand in my notice where I am now!

No chance of 25, 10 is more realistic. I dont think they recruited 25 all last year.
