And will they send you the form B to fill out in that same email or do they send you form B before that?

MrRadiation007

Anyone know the eyesight requirements and anyone with glasses pass the medical?

I'm currently waiting on my suitability checks to come back when I rang for an update. Does anyone know what this involves?

Going in October. Does anyone have a list of stuff we need to bring? I like to get organised early.

Conor123456

When did u get notification u we’re getting in for October.?

Conor123456

i am in the same boat as you waiting for suitability checks to come back for ages I applied last year and had everything done since march, only met with local sgt last week and was told inspector would be in contact in a week or two so I’m still waiting to find out what the story is, very long with waiting for things to happen,

osk112

Does anyone know how many batches are left in the 2022/2023 recruitment before they will move onto the 2023/2024 batches?

osk112

Batch 10, batch 11 for sure are waiting still what batch are you @Grace259

WestEire00

Hi All , Im in Batch 11, did my PCT on 22nd of July and Medical on Monday just gone. Anyone else in similar position with any update/progress made?

Grace259

I'm not until batch 1 of this years recruitment so I'm just trying to gauge when your recruitment panel will be exhausted and they will move on to my panel, I'm high up so just trying to guess a wee timeline

Considering the intakes to the college aren't full I'd say they'll be moving on to the new campaign pretty much straight away.

Grace259

Oh really so like the next intake? Or the Jan one maybe, I'm in the top 10 so I'd be first up

Depotdoc

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120931031#Comment_120931031

Same as myself, I’m top 40. Provided we have everything done by next intake and theres no issues we might be laughing!

darrenq97

I’m batch 9 and still waiting to be called

Grace259

So what batch was being brought in this week?

Depotdoc

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120933259#Comment_120933259

It would have been a combination of dozens of batches. Batches mean nothing really. They don’t have enough to fill the classes so they’ll be taking anyone who’s file is complete

osk112

That's true there was people from batch 10 that got called in for the 31st July so its random for every candidate

Grace259

Can anyone advise what happens if you fail a component of the physical?

berry2020

A question for ye all. It looks like I might need a hearing aid for my left ear to pass the high frequency sounds. Is it acceptable to join with a hearing aid??

Thanks

Similar situation mate. i done everything march and still waiting on local station meeting

darrenq97

Got my offer for October intake. Any WhatsApp groups going?

Grace259

Does anyone know if we can defer an offer of a start date? And if so how many times can you do that?

Holly2022

What date is October intake?

shaneos436

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120938862#Comment_120938862

You can only defer an offer if it’s received less than a months notice I was told be appointments, if you refuse an offer with a month or more notice without genuine circumstances I wouldn’t think it be wise

darrenq97

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120939128#Comment_120939128

Haven’t confirmed a date yet

osk112

Did they notified you by email or called you? Is that confirmed or just they said the next intake is October

leheaven

Anyone else from batch 1/2 waiting?

Hello everyone just seeing if anyone can give me an opinion on my situation. I was in batch 5 after the interview last November and finished the fitness and medical at the end of January, I only met the Sargent at the start of may and superintendent on the 11th of may (he said he had no issue sending back up the file to HQ based on the meetings), station must have been busy with the 3 month gap. But got noting since then, iv lived in 4 Irish addresses over the years. I'm 33 so maby the suitability checks could be drawn out. Just wondering if anyone else has a similar timeline or situation to shed a bit of light on it all for me, thanks in advance everyone.

I was similar circumstance and now nearly out of the college, although I was waiting about 1 month for confirmation after completing everything. Send an email to HRPD requesting a status update of your application every ~2 weeks. They'll tell you what they're waiting on internally. Beyond that, there's nothing you can do other than wait.

Best of luck.

You'll be invited back to repeat the failed section in its entirety once more. If you fail again, HRPD will require an explanation (a few paragraphs in an email) from you as to why they should approve you continuing within the competition. If they approve, you will be invited to repeat for a final time. If you fail any component again they will close your file and you will be exited from the competition. As far as I am aware, this will not disqualify you from entering in subsequent competitions.

Best of luck.

Hi guys,I've recently done an eye test, I'm +3.75 in both eyes, 6/9.5 unaided and 6/7.6 aided. Is this good enough to get past the medical?

denmiester

Thanks very much for that I'll drop them an email so, appreciate the help all the best in there yourself👍

Hyneser03

Anyone else get offers for October intake yet ?

denmiester

Thanks again Physeter I sent on that Email and they said they have my medical but my background checks were ongoing, I assume that means the checks done from above your local station level because they said all seemed ok there and that they would send the file back to Dublin HQ. The Email just went on to say once all facets of your application were complete they would be in touch about an intake date.

ba2002

well guys, was wondering if anyone else in a similar situation. I passed everything in march and my vetting started in march too. My vetting is completed but the only part left is local station meeting. I haven't been contacted by local station yet even though it has been nearly 5 months. I contacted Hr they said they sent reminder to the station but still no contact from station. anyone else here faced similar situation? any advice? TIA

It’s the community policing sgt who does your first meeting, I’d just ring the station and ask to speak to him and try arrange it yourself

shaneos436

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120960002#Comment_120960002

Not necessarily community policing, it’s the sgt in charge who looks after that

osk112

You should go through Sgt>Inspector>Chief Superintendant as your 3 meetings part of recruitment

kaycon

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120961203#Comment_120961203

Not everyone has to go through all 3 , in some cases sgt is sufficient . At max you’ll have 2

osk112

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120967201#Comment_120967201

Oh I didn't know that then, I went through all 3 in my own experience.

Hi all

Sharing my experience on time lines.

Had my fitness test towards the end of July and done a medical last week, got a call from local station the other day to meet super over the coming week. Hopefully all goes well after that. Anyone in a similar position?

2023recruit

Anyone know or advise a b&b or cheap accommodation to be recommended if going to templemore for fitness test so reared the night before
