    They get paid **** all while training. Enough to survive but many have survived with it. Bottom line is don't expect it to pay off any loans, but it'll buy you a pint on a Saturday night :)

    Some will call this an opportunistic moment, which it is, but Student Officers here in the PSNI start on the equivalent of €34k (which includes special allowance) rising to €37.5k on attestation... just in case... y'know... yiz were wonderin' like...

    I was at the recent Open Day in Templemore and we were told they are paid €190 a week - they must have got a rise -wooh....

    Considering they have free board, free food, no fees, it's not 'that' bad.

    I'd rather stay here and police NI than Dublin any day. There have been more shootings in Dublin this year and last than there have been in the entire of Northern Ireland in the same period.

    The swings and roundabouts in the case go both ways, all day long!

    the money is crap. getting 180 a week minus the medical aid + any loans (that u will almost certainly get) + savings (with either of the credit unions) + statoil card. when i was there i was getting about 20 euro a week after deductions.

    when ur in phase 2 u do get an additional 180 a week for rent allowance. even on attestation the money is still crap so OT is a must for most ppl. thank god for operation anvil is all i say.

    would have loved to join the psni but the missus put her foot down there!!!
