The education is probably the least of their worries. I’m sorry to say it’s well known, family’s have a huge criminal background, 85% unemployed.

Think of the interview we all did, to use real life examples of when you had to…..etc / etc.

Anyone heard anything on classes starting from the panel early this year or if we have to wait for the new batch to come on board ?

Can't imagine they'll hit any sort of recruitment numbers if its the latter. The HR office refuse to give any definitive answers if they know or not it seems

Well there's heaps of people still waiting with everything complete, surely they can fill another intake with us

That would make the most sense anyway, I read somewhere before the November class there was between 500 and 600 left at various stages on the panel.

So surely the vetting will be back on enough individuals to make up a class. I've seen stranger things though 🤣

I applied 3 years ago this April. My vetting is still outstanding and I’ve never lived abroad!

Howya lads, I was in the Campaign for 2019 but I dropped out on my own accord as I had gotten a promotion in work but I have decided its definitely not for me.

Do you think I would have a chance at going for the Gardai again?

Question from the Dáil last month about continuted recruitment......

""As the Deputy will be aware, public health restrictions have unavoidably impacted on intakes to the Garda College, Templemore, particularly in 2020. I am advised, however, that the College resumed intakes earlier this year and that four intakes of a total of 385 recruits have commenced training, the most recent of which was on 15 November 2021.

I am advised by the Garda authorities that the dates for the 2022 Garda recruitment competition are currently being finalised. Budget 2022 provides for the recruitment of up to 800 additional Gardaí next year as part of the unprecedented allocation of in excess of €2 billion to An Garda Síochána. ""

If 4 classes was 385 recruits, 800 in 2022 is a big ask. Would need very regular classes on the new style of training.

Are you repeating your PCT or is this your first time?

repeating

Anyone on here that didn’t do their PCT yet

Are you repeating it because it's out of date or because you didn't get it first time? I'm asking because it's been over a year since I did mine and nobody has been in contact with me about repeating it yet?

you don't repeat your PCT if you've passed, only your medical as it is only valid for a period of time. You do your PCT throughout your probation and training in the college when you start

I read online that you get €184 a week during Templemore, can you get the dole or some other subsidy to get by. If leaving one job to join the Gardai it would be difficult to pay the mortgage.

Goddard

No you can not, the €184 is the only money you can get from the state to the best of my knowledge.

I can’t see any reason why you couldn’t apply again. However, the HR may not look on it as favorable coming back for a second time having dropped out once before.

Na445

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118486927#Comment_118486927

Repeating due to not getting it first time! If you email them they might push it on for you!

Of course you will have a chance again, circumstances change for people its not frowned upon and it won't go against you. I know people that were in your position and are now in the job after reapplying. Reapply again, you know what it entails. You won't regret it.

Goddard

Spoke to them at the end of last week , intake planned in the very near future but no dates

smaaaallll bit of vetting outstanding as usual 😄 I finished up everything in November 2019, that was the medical, and still never got past vetting. I'm in for a different competition now i'm really interested in, it will be just my luck now that everything will clear and ill be asked to go down 😂

Goddard

Thanks for the update. I can’t understand why vetting takes so long.

Goddard

The new Garda uniform is terrible. The polo shirt looks like something from McDonald’s. My god.

AF96DUB

Has anyone been told recently that their vetting has been complete? Mine seems to be stuck for the past 6 months

Goddard

I called them last Thursday. “Small bit of vetting still outstanding” I’m since the 2019 campaign.

AF96DUB

Same boat as yourself! Hopefully with the new campaign up and running they'll hurry us along

Goddard

True! Not mad about the new uniform tho 😆

Gatesaab

Has anyone been in contact with HR or have any new info as to when the next intake might be?

User2589

Could someone tell me is there 7 shuttles in stage 1 or 10?
