    Did you get your interview time and date through e-mail or post? Still waiting on mine, might give them a ring if I don't have it by 3 today. Just have to try get a day off work for it next week.

    I rang up yesterday because i was having problems actually sending my application by email so i was just ringing to check if it went through and i just asked at the end do you know my date and she told me :D

    Cheers, was thinking that alright. I assume the report writing and interview are on the same day at roughly the same time. Like finish the report writing at 11 and interviews at half 11?

    usually the interviews are conducted in the morning (individually) and the written exam is taken in the afternoon (by everyone together)

    I had my exam in the morning and interview immediately afterwards. I also seen someone there who had interview first then exam so depends on when they schedule you. I would definitely advise dressing formally. Interview is straightforward.

    Yeah, got my date and time for next Wednesday. From what I've heard, spelling is taken pretty seriously, so if you cant spell a word 100% just use a different word.

    usually the weekends are the worst.. Have noticed that the gougers can spot a weak link in the garda chain a mile away and lots of new garda reserves fit the bill on that score.. if you are lucky you will just get an earful of very agressive verbal abuse.. not so lucky you could get punched and spat at and sometimes the women can be worse then the men..
    after a few months you toughen up.. SOMEWHAT...:cool:...

    Do you feel you can defend yourself pretty well if you're attacked, even by a big tough looking guy? (with the moves you've learned)

    I'm just curious.

    the moves you learn in templemore are great.. problem is time passes and lets say after a year you are attacked unless you keep rehearsing the moves you kinda forget and before you know it wham bam youre on the defensive and anything is possibble to happen to you..

    Just got the letter today to say I pass the interview/report writing......I know, still a long way to go.

    After I send off the BR form, can the medical happen before the BR form comes back?
