    if you look at it in a way that they are taking on 500 then there is hope. I wouldn't care if I had to wait 2 or 3 years to get in as long as I knew that I would eventually be heading for Templemore

    yes thats the positive - the panel could be quite big

    negative - if you have a bad day and dont score well, you could be waiting years for another crack at the job

    We are thinking that there may be a panel set up that they pick from in years to come

    A buddy of mine,

    Father is a super is pretty much guaranteed a place. Along with one of his cousins.

    You know, I taught that the day was well and truly over in this country. Obviously not.

    Nonsense.

    He cant just go into an interview and say my daddy is a Superintendent, he has to pass the apptitude tests with a very high mark, and also do a good interview, and then pass the physical tests, so no he is certainly not guaranteed a place. This is not the celtic tiger era anymore, i hope that finally our police intake will be of the people that are the best of the best of the best.

    Remember the negative marking. Better to skip a question if you're not sure of the answer.

    No he can't. But being Guards, he will get the fact in there that his dad is a super. And boom.....

    I thought it was retired supers that were used for interviews. Even if his father isn't interviewing him I'm sure his name will be on Form B where you have to give the name of a garda who knows you!

    I'm stuck on 4 out of 6 in the verbal, just can't get my head around it.

    Anybody know what criteria are used for allocation of trainees?.

    Searched online but can't find anything, surely it's in writing somewhere in relation to how the Commissioner should allocate trainees?.

    Being from Galway, I was under the impression that if successful I'd be placed somewhere within a radius of home(i.e Mayo, Clare, Roscommon etc).
    Wouldn't fancy being placed in Dublin tbh.

    For the pay and the grief it wouldn't be worth the hassle.

    I reckon the majority of recruits will be placed in Dublin
