Potential Officers From the Republic

    Hey Guys

    Just thought I'd set up a thread for those of us not living in Northern Ireland at present and who have passed AC or are still waiting. Maybe we could discuss potential problems moving up such as bank accounts, housing, not sticking out like a sore thumb because of our accents :):) and what reaction we could get from the public etc. It would be great if serving officers could contribute and share anything with us that might help. I think Shield is from the Republic but I stand open to correction.

    Anyway love to hear from ye

    El Tri

    Hardest thing to get used to is driving on the other side of the road.

    If you do make it as an Officer just be aware that riots have been caused by Officers arguing with the locals over who has the nicer Tayto! Seriously though, I'd just assume most of your concerns would be covered early on in Garnerville, I think you start with the residential bit, then presumably by then you'd club together with other students to find somewhere local to rent or whatever.

    If you make it to GV and live more than 35 miles away then you can apply to remain residential for the whole course. Those inside 35 miles are expected to travel after the first 4 weeks (unless you have a good reason not to)
