Can anybody tell me how many questions we had to do in each section of stage 2 and how long we had to complete each? Thanks

Did you not do them? We were told before we sat the tests how many question and what time we'd have, so it's all in the information you got

What's your problem. If you can't be arsed looking up the information yourself, then why should any of the rest of us go to the trouble of reading through the information again, and then replying to you. I told you where to find it. Grow up, show some initiative and don't be so flipping lazy. You could be a guard one day. It would be nice to know that you might make a slight effort to do things for yourself.

In general, separate to the question that just got answered, the amount of people who don't seem to be able to garner information from the emails and familiarisation documents is quite worrying.

After stage two I placed in the 2,700 mark In your opinions do you think I will be called or should I cut my loses and move on

You've every hope of being called in the three year time frame. No need to cut your losses but carry on with your life until you hear anything.

Best call them (PAS) and see but I think that there was a poster in the stage 3 thread who said they already tried this and that PAS would not accommodate them. Have a look back through the thread also.

Didn't expect it at all. Got email from Public jobs saying I'm invited to stage 2

wannabegard · 31-07-2015 8:02pm

What band are you?

I was top of band 2.

wannabegard · 31-07-2015 8:09pm

Ya that doesn't really matter anymore. Totally different aptitude tests. We will all be reorganised again based on this test. I know a fella he was number 4 in band 1 and didn't get into stage 2

Your right there. I'm in band 3 and got an email today for it

31-07-2015 8:21pm

Same as above.

Email just came through. From recollection i wasn't too far into Band 2.

I'm going to go through the process but I may refuse it in the end.

Just entering my honours degree this year and not sure if I want it based on previous pay rates for new recruits.. They were poor for what's a tough job.

Another negative was the potential location. Wouldn't be interested in Dublin for the pay and it was pointed out here at the time by others that "all recruits would be to Dub as ppl were waiting on transfers etc"....

Well the recruits were dished out last week and it was apparently an even spread country wide with Galway getting 5 and Mayo around the same so at least that was quashed as a theory.

wannabegard · 31-07-2015 8:35pm

Buddy I'm telling ya as a masters graduate that doesn't matter. I work in airport were u stand outside airplanes all day. If you get t take it it will lead to something else.

Keno9407 · 31-07-2015 8:41pm

I placed in the middle of band 2 but didn't recieve an E-mail???

Any ideas?

wannabegard · 31-07-2015 9:00pm

Did you check your public jobs page?

thekopend · 31-07-2015 9:20pm

It was actually a txt i got sorry not an email. I think you have to set pj account for txt alert thats prob why you got nothing. Well atleased the ball is rolling now. Competition for the top places shouldnt be as fierce as it was for band one with the ammount that wont bother doing it which is a bonus.

wannabegard · 31-07-2015 9:28pm

I reckon the first four thousand will go to stage 3. If recruitment goes ahead in 2017. That's why they are calling us all together to get rid of us and make room for the next groups

danbag1989 · 01-08-2015 3:54pm

Hey guys. I've been reading the garda threads for a while now although I have never posted in them!
I was surprised yesterday to get a text from PublicJobs telling me I got to Stage 2 (More aptitudes!), since I only came in Band 2, a friend was placed in Band 3 and didnt get an email/text even though I saw someone else in Band 3 did. I dunno. Anyway, how are we all feeling about it? Anyone else surprised by the message?

thekopend · 01-08-2015 8:25pm

How ye finding the aptitude tests

Hey, just came across this when doing research and remembered your post, http://www.gra.cc/payscales.shtml , Im sure you've already seen it but if you go back to the Salary page you can different info about different allowances depending what unit youre in etc

Just getting around to practicing them next week gonna do em for an hour or so a day I reckon, you?

danbag1989 · 03-08-2015 1:01am

Anyone have any ideas when Stage 3 would go ahead if you placed in the top of the current batch?
"Candidates must qualify in both tests and those ranked highest will be invited in batches as required, to undertake the next stage of the selection process"

I know nobody knows but anyone care to guesstimate a ball park figure?

Those rates are no longer correct....

http://www.garda.ie/Controller.aspx?Page=12252

"Rates of Pay:

The pay of all public servants is determined by the Minister of Public Expenditure and Reform in consultation with relevant parties.

In addition, the Haddington Road Agreement provides for a review of the Garda Síochána including the remuneration and conditions of Service of An Garda Síochána. The rates of pay and allowances are therefore indicative and are therefore subject to change.

Garda Trainees will receive an allowance of €184 per week for the 32 weeks leading to attestation.

On appointment to the Service, a Probationer Garda will be paid €23,171 rising by increments to a maximum of €45,793 per annum after 19 years (October 2013 rates). Members of the Service may also qualify for other allowances. "

OK cheers for that

wannabegard · 03-08-2015 2:22pm

Lads can we focus on the aptitude test please and worry bout the pay afterwords. If we don't pass this we may as we'll forget about it. The aptitude tests are different to stage 1 and i can't speak for anyone else but I am struggling. Anyone else in the same boat?
