Garda Recruitment 2022/2023

I think it’s 2 or 3 over but that’s just a guess as I’ve only standard house scales here and have not taken my height in a good few years! I’d be happier knowing they’d give a chance to go back in a month or two to get the bmi reviewed if it is a hard line so I’m really hoping that’s the case as to get this far is a testament in itself never minding being able to pass the pct which surely shows you’re able for the training!

Any know what way does it work if you fail to meet the required level on one aspect of the PCT and have to repeat? Is it last chance or can you keep trying if miss it the 2nd time?

Being careful with words is a key attribute of being of a Garda, it can escalate/de-escalate situations. Judging by the tone of that post and previous ones by the poster, I don't think it’s a characteristic many members will appreciate on the unit.

source: I’m a serving member.

I believe BMI over 30 will cause people issues in the medical, but if it’s muscle mass more than anything, it will be evident to the nurse/doctor.

Anyone on here be able to tell me how many students are currently in Templemore?

And have the tutors been reallocated stations?

Lads what's the craic with drug testing? Dabbled a little with weed recently enough in Amsterdam (stupid I know!) and bricking it now that I have heard talk of hair samples being taken!

Put me out of my misery, please 😥

Has anyone who has done the medical heard back from the appointments office?

Would be nice to know how long it will take them to process it, I rang them but they had no answer.

They didn’t do hair test in the medical. Think it was a misunderstanding but can’t be sure

Thanks very much @hoops67 @blinkinghinds , all the best in the campaign 😎

Im still waiting for stage 2 results I'm wondering will we be called next year Im not sure.. waiting for results 9 weeks now 😔

@starlight27

Id be surprised if you got results for stage 3 before the new year anyway. Realistically you will have a few weeks prep for your interview, they run for a couple of weeks and then a long wait for results.

Im sure everything slows down around mid december into the new year with the festive season.

Im waiting approx 4+weeks so far after my interview

I haven't done stage 3 yet. I'm wait for the results for stage 2 atm but I'd say your right I reckon I won't here until January id say I don't know tho. Oh I see how did you find the interview was it hard?

Got the interview results here too, thankfully got through. Best of luck to ya’s who are yet to get them

Hey everyone. Happy to say I passed my interview after all my worrying! It said on the message that I'm batch 1! My OOM has drastically changed. I was in the lower 300s. I'm now under 50. Has this happened to anyone else? And if so what does this mean for me going forward?

Awh damn I was hoping we would have more time. I'm not the fittest at the moment. 😬

Better start running!
