My checks are complete a good while now. I’ve not yet had local meetings for this new campaign apparently my file is in ballymun Garda station since August. Seeing those new guys come in the last round of interviews and be called ahead of those who have been stuck in this for 4+ years is the entire reserve campaign summed up in one word. Joke

Casual dress is fine.I wore Jeans and a zipped hoodie when I last did mine.Good Luck on wednesday.The Doc will tell you if you've passed or not,and if they know downstairs,when you go back down,they'll give you Training Dates,or will say they'll be in touch.

Not sure.You'll probably find that out at Templemore,or HR may be able to inform you if Training Dates have been finalised.I can't 100% say.Sorry.Someone else on here may be able to clarify that for you.

Not sure how that works with the Reserves,but maybe you get to correct them and go back.However,if you wear glasses and they correct them to the required standard,then there should be no issue.The Doc will ask you if you will be taking the test with or without glasses.At least that was the case back in 2015.I didn't wear them back then,but will this time round if i get called.I won't be taking any chances.

Thanks very much for your reply. That is very helpful information, Hopfully that is still the case ifor it is I won't havery any worries, I wear glasses and I donthink think I will reach the required standard with them off, so that would be brilliant. Thanks.

You can try them,but those details may not get organised until they know who has passed for training and where they are located.

No,not a word. Very disappointing that we haven't had some priority for this intake,as we've already been through to start training back in 2015.Ye wouldn't have as many hurdles to jump in the Olympics.
