Garda Recruitment 2022/2023

I met the sergeant and was then weeks later told I needed to go get my eyes tested by an optician as they weren’t happy with my eye test results from the medical.

I think it depends on the county but majority of the time its in the HQ Station for your county.The meetings are very brief its kind of like an informal interview, with both the Sgt. and Superintendent seperatly. They had my application form and form B with them and just did a quick read over it and asked a few questions about the forms and then gave a general insight into the training and the job itself. I was also told that more than likely all new recruits passing out this year will be sent to DMR so be ready for that unless you have a welfare case!

I’m batch 8 and booked my interview today!

Don't suppose "can't afford anywhere to live within a 2 hour drive of Dublin" is an acceptable welfare excuse? Asking for a friend

Well there hardly going to send all the recruits from every phase this year to DMR sure every station in the country needs them ?

Hi Guys

Can anyone that has done the fitness test recently tell me what you have to do? Thanks a mill!

I did my medical on the 9th of December and heard nothing until last week. I emailed them myself asking what the story was and if there was any word and they responded saying I passed the medical and was deemed fit to proceed with the competition. I have not heard anything since.

Did anyone contact their local Garda station or is it best just to wait to be contacted?

cheers.

Did anyone else get the message from public jobs this morning about calling the last batch forward for stage 2 ? Like they haven’t said what number of OOM they are calling forward for it ?

Just received results also for stage 2 💪🏼

URGENT!!! Any help is appreciated!!

I found out today that I passed stage 2 of recruitment which is great as this is my dream job. I'm still in college (final year as long as exams go well) and always planned to go straight into the guards after but all I can think about is travelling next year/taking a gap year/moving away for a year as I am only 21. My question is if I decide not to start stage 3 and they automatically withdraw me from the competition will I be allowed apply again in the future or is this my one and only chance? If anyone knows the definite answer please let me know as I cannot find it anywhere. The reason I applied at the start of this year was because it has always been my plan but after taking the stage one tests and over the Summer I fear that I will miss out on those year long travel experiences where I have no obligations to get back to. This is my absolute dream job but I also do not want to flunk out at the interview/fitness test (I am in terrible shape compared to what I was this time last year due to college and work stresses). If it turns out that I cannot reapply in the future I will continue to the next stage and I am sure all will be fine in the end of course, but just asking the same for if I was to fail the interview/fitness test would I be bale to reapply again in lets just say 3 years time? (if they are doing a recruitment campaign of course). Basically is this my only chance at this job if I am automatically withdrawn by not sending in the form/if I fail the next stage?

Ya a call to go into the college , I have everything done and just waiting I'm 2 on OOM in batch four just wondering had anyone else got a shout yet from our batch . I have been told they will give about a month's notice so that would be by Friday next week .

Hey. I applied in 2017, I was 21 and straight out of college. I had as got as far as the fitness test I passed and at the time the medical was the next stage. I went on my j1 the week after the fitness. I came back and decided that I would withdraw my application as I got the travel bug. And I went onto oz and only came back in jan 22. I then applied for the guards again at 27 in March 22 and I’ve completed everything waiting for the call. If I was you, I would do the travelling you will be able to apply again in a few years time no problem.

I’m batch 4, OOM 115… haven’t heard anything back from medical yet, done it the 23rd of last month. No meeting with Sergeant or Super yet.

I had that issue, was only a couple of kilos over myself but the doctor gave me 12 weeks to correct it. A week after this medical the first lockdown came in so I was waiting for well over a year to re do it. If he has to re do his medical he will literally only have his BMI taken again, not do the full medical.
