The security clearance has always taken a long time in my case it took 2 years to come back and no before you ask I was never in trouble. I’ve never heard of anyone not having to do the fitness test and I’ve 10 years done. Do a bit of training and it will be grand. It’s a great job with good staff( in general). I think covid will slow up everything and a possible moratorium on public sector recruitment as in the last recession.

I know it's a long process but just hoping to hear soon.
It's a job that I'm really hoping to get.

Can't afford a moratorium imo too many retirements, I heard that since recruitment started overall numbers have barely changed because of retirements

Had my fitness test booked for the end of March before being cancelled on me. Still waiting. Hopefully as restrictions start to ease and small groups can gather at one time the tests will start running again. Small numbers at a time id imagine, which will slow down the stages even more so.

Got my clearance back in March, heard nothing since, COVID is probably having a big effect on every thing, I think the GARDA have the same problems too, well if individuals are getting notifications of clearances back it’s a good thing that the system is slowly getting back to normal 👍
