Garda Siochana Recruitment 2024

That does seem like something went wrong. You surely should have gotten the form B email if you passed the interview stage.

Take your time between push ups and sit ups is my main advise… I went from one straight into another and was fine but definitely made it more difficult

Quick question for you guys in the know around Garda recruitment

Years ago, fresh out of college I was found in possession of a personal quantity of cannabis. A seriously stupid mistake in my youth that I very much regret, it is my sole encounter with the Gardaí

I was of course fully cooperative at all times, wrote a letter of apology to the Garda etc

I received a district court summons for it but never actually went before a judge - given it was my first and only offence the Garda dropped the charges, so I received no conviction and have no criminal record

I have a couple of retired Gardaí in my family and had always thought about joining but never acted upon it. Lately I find myself thinking about it a lot.

I’ve realised I’d like to take the plunge and actually finally go for it….

I guess my question is, am I dreaming thinking they’ll even look twice at me? As I said I’ve no actual criminal record but I imagine my case from those years ago would still come up on pulse? If possible I’d like to avoid the months of waiting and hoping if it’s all pointless because ultimately they’ll never realistically consider me anyway

Thanks a million

hi, I saw a comment on here that in the medical we will have an eye test… I am short eye sighted and wear glasses at specific times, some people said you might need to get laser eye surgery? What really?? Would the glasses you use not suffice?

Are they strict on the time with the situps? They give 1 minute to complete x amount but wondering if your 1 or 2 off would they give you it?

I saw someone graduate recently that was wearing glasses. See below screen shot from Garda website.

I’m sure if you’re doctor signs you off as unfit for the test arm you’ll be able to reschedule!

Is this 100% true?

I've done my medical, passed everything apart from the eyes. Better than 20/20 vision with contacts but I am well below minimum standard without them.

Just waiting on word back from it.

Hello Guys, can anyone advise for PCT is it acceptable/required to arrive in sports gear or did you arrive in casual/formal clothing then change for testing ? Thanks .

Has any gone through the interview on zoom yet?I just got an email and it's booked for August.

..

I also that that message today, but haven’t been able to book a slot. Nothing is coming up in my bookings part. Does anyone know what I should do?

Just curious has anyone on here failed the PCT and are awaiting a re test date?

I just went into my bookings and it allowed me to book a date and time if ot doesn't appear for you I would send off a load of emails

anyone know how long the rescheduling batch for interview would be my internet went halfway through my initial interview I’m thinking about going travelling for a bit and unsure how long I’d be waiting
