    I suppose they need 40ish for a class to make it worth while

    Good to hear you have a date for the medical..I phoned HQ today just to get an update on my Medical and they told me the Reserve section has now moved to Harcourt Street(Community Bureau Section)..I'll call them tomorrow as the office was closed at 4..Has anyone heard of them moving from HQ?Maybe it's a good sign as there's a specific dept now looking after recruitment??

    Yeah I rang them..There is an office in Harcourt street but that only deals with existing reserves..Transfered me to the wrong office at the time
    So I phoned HQ back and he just said I'm on the list for next round of medicals,whenever that might be..I'd say early Feb, hopefully

    I would not think so, it looks like at the way things are done seems to be a line of protocol that has to be followed ie reserves are reserves full time is full time.

    Ya man agreed actually they were suppose to have 300 in last year 2017 so there way behind. If they haven’t got a class going in my May they should just forget about it.

    It's actually probably lower then that now.

    What I can't understand is why they keep saying it and just never doing anything about it. Mid 2014 was the last time Reserve Garda were trained. And since the end of 2015 they have been harping on about doubling the reserve and getting 300 trained a year by 2021.... Just ****ing do it already ...

    Agree with you 100 percent as I said if there isint a class gone in by summer this year then they should just forget about it

    Sorry to hear you didn't pass due to the BMI,but just work hard and get it down.it can be done.Were there any others there for Reserve medical the day you were there?Still waiting on vetting to clear here.Very frustrating,as this will be 4th time to get vetted over the years.I must be the most vetted person in Ireland.Really think that the small number of us who made it to training back in 2015 have had a raw deal by making us go through the whole process again.

The last day I seen a video and it was like join the GR before ya do full time!!! I feel like saying what are ya ****ing talking about ya gob****es sure aren't we all here ****ing waiting on ye lazy bastards to pull your finger out and get us training.

    They won't reply ... Trust me on that. You will have to ring them. I rang recently and they just said there is still outstanding vetting on my application. I also ask if there was any dates set for more medicals/training and they just they didn't no. The recruitment process is a joke... They don't care.
