    To answer your question directly I’ve been in ‘final checks‘ for about 14 months now

    Just to keep a bit of hope lit here - some people never receive a 'vetting complete' email or 'final checks'. I personally know people who were getting the 'vetting outstanding ... multi-tiered process...' up to the day they got their offers.

    I mean like, email in the morning looking for an update, they received the email with the usual answer, and then receive another email later offering them a place in the next intake.

    Just be aware that you mightn't get the definitive email telling you that your vetting is done and back etc.

    I suppose a WhatsApp group would mentally help people. You can chat to people who feel the exact same way you feel. It’s easier to chit chat on WhatsApp than on here. Going through this process it’s important to do anything that will mentally help. This is a long process for us all but it will be worth it. Hang in there guys!

    I think its a good idea. Would be a nice way to get to know people on the same career path who might also potentially be in the same intake.

    I did mine in May 2019 aswell and rang looking for an update, they told me mine is still valid for another month! I was hoping they would give me a date to do it again and get it out of the way

    Question 1: can you put on your sternest “ oh you really shouldn’t be doing that” face to the public ?
    Question 2: can you make yourself look very busy and important for a few moments, then wave them on and say “that’s grand”

    If so, you’re in. We need you for the next 4-6 weeks to be a lollipop man.

    thats hilarious, you're so funny........

    would we be wrong to assume so that if Medicals are going ahead again in Dublin that there is a possibility of the physicals starting back again some-date soon?
    although physicals would have to be done in templemore so considering this we prob wont get any update soon. especailly now with level 5 lockdown.
    anyone hear anything?

    I don't know if this is any help but I was up there last Wednesday for a medical appointment with the medical advisor. I did my medical last February but had to get clearance from the medical advisor and they finally got back to me 3 weeks ago and I had my appointment last Wed. I travelled up from galway, I had to do a covid questionnaire on the phone with one of the receptionists the day before just to make sure I was OK to travel. So there definitely seems to be movement.
