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.

I had remembered you posted that you had an appointment for the med. It was just a copy and paste response I got that they send out.

Oh OK. I literally just kept plaguing them with emails for the last 8 months and finally got a response 😂

Fair play. I just asked about my vetting and they stuck that piece in too. I still have med and pct to do so not too bothered yet but would have liked the vetting to be done at this point but I'm older so there's a lot of history on my cv to go check out.

I’m thinking PCTs won’t be until after xmas if the college is closed for 9 weeks. Hopefully in January things will start to kick off

Hopefully now with the new year they will get things moving again. Ya I've heard say if you've lived abroad that can prolong the process for vetting to. Fingers crossed that they get it done soon for you though

Ya I can imagine that will be the case but the medicals could be run maybe beforehand as they are open up in headquarters. Fingers crossed anyway.

In relation to vetting, does anybody know what "final checks" are? I emailed about my file as I still havent done physical but they said my "file has been returned but final checks cannot be conducted until stage 4 is completed in full"

Guards are humans too , just cause you become one doesn’t mean you give up your social life , sure you are more aware and cautious , but no reason to not have accounts , plus most change their names or use Irish version of their names to stop being found in searches

A few of my friends are active guards and they still have their social media accounts. No problem with having them just use common sense when posting stuff you know

Source ?

Current 2 intakes have movement in Jan/feb back to the college. So I'm guessing there may be new intakes in Feb and/or March then again in June. Some hearsay some fact. Nothing Gospel.

Do you think there will be just intakes and no recruitment campaign in 2021?

There'll be both. Recruitment can run regardless of the intakes happening cus it takes months to complete.

Alana123

And do you think the recruitment campaign will launch around April like usual??

Do u think the stages in the recruitment campaign will change due to covid?

It could happen then again, anything with that College is a law onto themselves. I am attached to one of those intakes returning to the college and they're staggering the returns to comply with social distancing and living arrangements in the college. So the 201 intake will return first in January to carry out the last 4 weeks of their newly condensed Phase 1 training.
The 193's then start returning on the 2nd Monday in February, but are only returning in batches of 50. So unless they start to take in new trainees then, but if that's the case it'll only be in batches of 100.
Because of Covid college capacity is 150.
