Did fitness test and interview in Athlone 4th July. Passed fitness test. No word back yet about interview.

In relation to garda vetting i was told in email to bring a full list of past addresses. Had it with me on the day but it was never requested on the day?

Wondering now if it will impact the vetting process? Only ever had one adress right enough.

Done my fitness/Interview on the 6th of July in Cathal Br Dublin, has anybody heard their results yet?

Emailed the recruitment office asking about the next intake in curragh and got this back....


The DFTC (Curragh) will not be taking in any more platoons this year. Applicants who are still on the DFTC list are being moved to 1 Brigade or 2 Brigade, depending on where the applicant resides. Applicants will be called to fill platoons when they arise. Correspondence will be sent to applicants in due course regarding this.
Please view our Facebook page where updates are available on current and upcoming recruitment competitions

So basically they are scraping the waiting list before taking the rest into training? I'm guessing it all depends on how long it takes for our Garda Vetting forms to come back to them. If people made mistakes on theirs it could take months for them.

I've heard from a couple people in Cathal Brugha and Athlone, it looks like 2 platoons to be taken in each barracks so there will be a lot of people taken on in a couple months of that's true. Anyone know what date next month Cathal Brugha are supposed to be starting training ?

I have a mate in Athlone and he asked this morning about a start date in athlone and they said November. So hopefully it's true about the two platoons. When did you do your medical? I got word back in March I passed mine so hopefully I get on that intake in November. This waiting around not knowing is a killer.

Yeah I've heard it a couple times so it sounds solid enough. Where did you apply for ? I done my medical in Feb and heard back in June that I passed.
I'm hoping to be in for September that's when I was told I should be in anyways. Ah the waiting is horrible, hopefully it will all be done with soon.

Hopefully emails go out next week so.

If anyone can clear this up for me it would be much appreciated.

I done my fitness/Interview in Cathal Brugha barracks on the 4th of July 16. I got an email to say I passed and will be informed on the next stage of the competition in due course.

My question is, what's next? I assume it's the medical but I was told that there might be an in house psychometric test to complete. Is this true? Or do you go straight from fitness/interview to your medical examination?

Thanks, AJ

Hearing test blood samples eye test. Some heart check thing don't know what it's called. It's all simple mate don't worry. Hearing test is the only thing that could possibly catch you out.

No emails this week by the looks of it...

Anyone heard anything recently ? Recruitment Facebook page said they would post when they know when offers are going out and it's 2 weeks till the 29th surely that would be pushed back at this stage as its looking like another 5 days or a week or so before offers go out ?
