Question re prison service and political parties. I'm a member of a political party and have been offered part time, above board employment with this party. Doesn't anyone see this as being an issue in my application progressing? I would of course give up this job should my application be successful. But just curious as I know civil servants are meant to be apolitical.

its indoors defo, in a hall in the training centre, serious bit of advice, makesure you can do the 40x15m runs in under the 3 and a half minutes, its the only thing people fail on, and people do fail the physical.

get out and running now while your waiting for the date, there was 4 people in my group that failed the physical on the runs. they were all heartbroken after going that far and failing but to be fair they werent prepared.

Probably one of the best pieces of advice on this whole thread....the shuttle runs are the very last thing you do during your physical and as stated above the physical is a breeze except for the shuttle runs.......fail to prepare and all that!!!!

You are not allowed to be a member of any political party as a prison officer but they also say canvassing for promtion is not allowed which we all know in the job is a load of bull as its who you know that gets you up that ladder i would think though that it could be an issue if you havent got the job yet especially depending on which party your talking about . think twice before taking the job in this party

Hi, recently only came across this thread. I went for interview in feb and got email saying i had been successful in interview for prison officers. It also said 'the Irish Prison Service will shortly issue you with an Information Pack consisting of relevant forms for completion and other information'. I was just wondering had anyone got this info pack or do they know when to expect it? Thanks

Not sure if this is the right place but what would be the best way of going about becoming a prison officer?

Get a time machine and go back to October 08, apply on publicjobs.ie, then do the aptitude test, get back in the time machine and come back to January of this year and find out you've been called for an interview, do the interview and hop back in the time machine and jump ahead maybe a year, find out the date of the medical and physical off the letter they may have sent, hop back in the time machine and come back on that date, personally I think that would be the best way, beats waiting around
