    Hi guys, is it a case of ringing up asking for an appointment for a medical?? As yet I'm not sure if my background checks have been completed!!
    Spoke to a guy in Garda HQ yesterday, there will probably be an intake of GR in June and September but as yet to be confirmed.

    There is a reserve in my job I'll ask and see!

    Oh lucky you Id say you'll be kept busy with all them farmers.
    Id love to get pearse street or store street in town for the night shifts on a Friday/ Saturday night. To bad you can't do two shifts in the one weekend because Id definitely do two if I could.

    I work in Dublin but live in Mullingar.

    Could I pick Mullingar and a station near my job?

    Would make it easier I suppose to choose a station near my job!

    When you are asigned your station, it will take time to intergrte into your unit, units are A, B,C, D, E. Ten hour shifts Or what ever you can give. Also St Raphaels have an APP on the APP store for your days on and off etc etc.... It's free!

    Id imagine I wouldn't be assigned to that unit if I get pearse street, Id be just out on the beat. It sound very interesting however.
    Are you dublin based ?
