Do you think it’s for a new recruitment campaign for 600 or for us waiting ?

Hopefully they will recruit those who are waiting the last 12 to 18 months.

It's very hard to tell. I doubt there are 650 applicants waiting with all stages complete so they would have to get the applicants who are waiting for Medical and Physical assessments through also.

Does this mean theyll be taking on new recruits in templemore?

Yes. But hard to see a new recruitment drive.

I wonder how many people are actually sitting in limbo between 2018 and 2019 applications. Does anyone have any idea?

And they will have to redo medicals that have expired for people from previous years. Ie. 2018,2019

well i know a lad that is 900ish in the oom after the interview process and then all froze and that was from the 2019 campaign, so yes its quite substantial the amount of people waiting for pct given that number, apparently that number can be basically halved after pct medical stage , so in my opinion there is in and about the 600 plus with both years combined, but there will most definetly be a campaign drive, to cater for next years allowance alone,
we know more then anyone that when you apply its only the lucky few that get in within the 12/14 month timeframe

im absolutly delighted with the news in the budget:D just when the candle was starting to burn out :pac::cool:

Ya I guess we just have to wait and see and hopefully there will be movement soon
