Garda Recruitment 2022/2023

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

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

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

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

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

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

..

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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
