Garda Recruitment 2022/2023

Im 22 campaign also. Its been over 8 weeks since I sent Occupational Health a letter from my doctor for updated BMI and still haven't heard anything only a confirmation email from OH the day after my doc sent the letter to state they received it. Called Appointments twice in the past 8 weeks and they always give me the same answer "were waiting on one or two suitability checks". I'll email them and see what happens. Hopefully see you down there in April myself

Good advise. I emailed both yesterday and got a call for April intake this afternoon.

Hey everyone, quick question. I'm from last years campaign and just noticed somebody mentioned about penalty points and if they were meant to declare this on the form B?

I was caught by the guards speed gun as couple years ago going 10 over the limit. I got penalty points but it never went to court. I never declared this on the form B cause I don't think it was necessary. How F'd am I?

I haven't heard of anyone having to repeat the medical. They might ask for a letter from your Psychologist ?

Mail me your # and ill get you added

The oom makes no difference after public appointments finish there end. Suitability checks is what delays it for everyone.

Yeah oom makes no difference, mine was fairly low like 85 I think!

all about the suitability checks unfortunately,

Yeah, basically any information (yours & your family's) put on the form B. So living outside the country previously or family abroad can be a pain because the vetting unit will need to reach out to whatever police force around the world.

Your all mad going for it. I was looking into it (because being a public servant is generally respectable) but the reality is if you are single, live anywhere close to Dublin and go into the gardai you will never earn enough to own a home. You are spending a career with your life at risk in order to live in shame as dead money

Overtime and additional income is only considered towards a mortgage if its consistent for 3 years and even then its only considered at 1/3rd of the rate income is

And yes, you'd need to make 100k to buy in Dublin (75k actually basic income by my budgetary planners), so anyone on less than that like me is living a life of shame as they will never be home owners. So no point in being a gardai, especially considering pay scales are public knowledge so everyone in your family will know your never going to make it.

Its horrible and cruel but its reality, people in Ireland see renters (like me) as dead money losers. So from living that life as a piece of filth renter, I wouldn't encourage anyone to actively go into a field that guarantees it.

Only tech matters in Ireland, if your not tech your dead money, like I am.

You’re forgetting taxes and other deductibles are taken out of the wage .. also, who wants to work overtime just to get a decent take home pay ?

many members of AGS will tell you that working overtime is a pain, you’re just drowning yourself further in paperwork.
