    What is the food like in Templemore actually? I'm a veggie, so a little concerned! :-P

    Me too! I love my Quorn food, but not too fussed on fancy vegetable food. As long as there are potatoes, chips and beans I'll be a happy man!

    Non responses to what?? It's not like they've been contacting us!

    Possibly health checks and tests. It's just a rumour I heard. Low take up and attendances

    Well there were all but one in attendance on the day of my physical, and he had notified them and postponed.

    I find it hard to believe so many people would come that far then drop out at stage 5.

    Who knows? Ireland has been a strange place the last 14 years.

    The day of my medical, two of five of us failed that I know of. The day of the PCT, 2 of 10 in my group failed. All of whom were above me in the order of merit. I also know of one who took another job instead. It's happening!

    Are you sure it was a fail. It was the same in my group of 5. Two out of the five of us didn't pass. But these were deferrals, rather than fails.

    It's only a rumour I heard. But I do know a mate whose brother dropped out when he got a job paying 10k more.

    People will drop out, defer and fail. to cater for this HR are preparing in excess of the initial 100 people in the order of merit.

    Id say if you are in the 140's and you have everything complete you may be in with a shout for the first class

    An bhfuil duine ar bith agaibh anseo ag dul isteach sa tsraith Gaeilge? An bhfuil a fhios agaibh cá mhéad duine a bheidh ag dul isteach? Ba mhaith liom fáil amach líon na spásanna atá ar fáil sa tsraith Béarla.

    Are any of you going into the Irish stream? How many are going in? I am just trying to figure out how many places out of the 100 will be allocated to us in the English stream.

    Go raibh maith agaibh / Thanks

    My understanding is that no-one will be getting any offer until the Physical tests are done next week. Was up for a medical yesterday and spoke to HR after. Was told that they had already put approx 200 through medicals, physicals and vetting and they still hadn't filled the first intake. That's why we were called at short notice. x amount failed the medical, x amount failed the physical and x amount of peoples vetting hasn't returned clear enough.

    Thanks for the info. Amazing that so many failed. When is your physical?

    What exactly is involved with vetting? How can you be failed? There seems to be a lot of talkung about this vetting process. I take it uf you had failed the vetting they would have contacted you by now. Or if information was lacking I'm sure they would have requested additional information? Anyone experienced this?

    No one said people failed the vetting, just that some of the vetting came back unclear, which to me would mean it will take abit longer to come back. Don't misquote me please.

    Would also go with about this number. I know someone in and around 30 in the Irish stream and he/she has been called in for everything at this stage. Up to 30 have been interviewed, tested, passed medically/physically fit, met supers etc.

    Please tell me where in my statement I misquoted you. Where did I say that people failed? You misquoted me in fact. You''ll need to work on that skill if you are reading people's statements. It is important that you dont allow yourself to make your own inferences based on what people have said. Stick to the facts and what has been said only.
