New compitition started

Feeney23

It's an absolute joke that they're starting a new competition when there's still people here who haven't heard back from them.. Has any one from the Curragh got any emails?

Well lads, just rang the curragh recruitment office there and was told everything was fine with my medical. He told me to keep an eye on my emails that we should be starting early this month, they're just waiting on a couple more things to clear

Has anyone who applied for Dublin received a confirmation of acceptance, and if so, have you any news on where we're going on the 10th?

Just rang the curragh, he said they are waiting on Garda vetting and when enough vetting forms come back they will send out an email. They are only getting 2/3 back a day that's why some people have heard back and not others...so again.... Keep checking emails

Delighted for all of you. You persevered and stuck it out for nearly 18 months. It was like waiting for a bus for over a year and all the buses appearing together.

From the press release about the new recruitment........"It’s expected that successful applicants in this round of competition will start being enlisted in December." It didn't say which year though :rolleyes:

The website www.military.ie crashed earlier and is still down. I can't see how they can go through the whole recruitment process again (fitness tests, psychometric tests, interviews, medicals and Garda vetting) in three months considering everything you've all been through.

Hope all the people waiting hear good news very soon. Hang on in there.

Edit: www.military.ie is back up now.

Its not the wait thats bothering me I just want to know if I have a place or not. Ive put alot on hold waiting for this. Ill be too old to reapply for the next competition so i just want to know if im in or if i have to start making other plans.
