    Enda will cease to be Taoiseach at some point and it won't be his decision then.

    Be careful of placing too much faith in politicians' utterings, especially when there's a general election in the offing.

    FWIW though, I can't see them stopping recruitment again for the foreseeable, they have to try to get the numbers back up again.

    Not with writing like that you won't. Not being smart, you will need to improve your spelling, grammar and syntax a lot before you'd be considered for the role.

    Kahmen has mentioned before that he has dyslexia.

    Kahmen I know I said it to you before but your grammer and spelling will be assessed during application process. I am going to be blunt with you because I think alot of your posts have been ignored so far, there is no point in you getting your hopes up. I know I would want someone to be honest with me.

    From your posts I can say that you won't get through the application process. I know you will probably find this difficult but if I were you I would look at a different career.

    I'd hope so rural areas are awash with break ins since the cutbacks, its very distressing for older folks i know of.

    would that be a automatic no in this day and age? then again i suppose given all the reports , notes, etc youd be taking it could be very difficult.

    Put it this way, I'm colour blind and as such can never become a pilot. I don't consider that discriminatory in any way, it's just the way it is.

    To join the Gardaí you would need to be able to read, write and spell very well. There's a massive amount of clerical work involved like taking statements, writing reports and reading a lot about laws, and rules gardaí need to follow. Dyslexia would make this next to impossible (if not completely impossible).

    So I would imagine dyslexia would be an automatic no. It would be very hard to facilitate somebody who's work involves so much reading and writing.

    yes i figured as much and total agree it cant be discriminatory given reading and writhing would be a large part of the job, thanks for you answer.

    Hi Kahmen,

    Dyslexia with help can be cured, I myself had it and grew out of it,

    dont give up on your ambition to join AGS,

    Put in the work and you get the rewards,

    People are very quick to dampen others hopes on this thread,

    best of luck with it,

    I have no intentions to dampen anyone's hopes but as I said before Kahmen has asked a number of times in the past how his dyslexia would affect him, and each time he has been ignored.

    I know very little about dyslexia but if like you said it can be cured then this is Kahmen's only hope. As it stands if he were to go through the application tomorrow he would fail and thats the truth of it.

    Anyway no going to get to much into it because it is a sensitive subject. My advice to Kahmen is to get working on curing his dyslexia.

    Can we please get back on the topic of the thread. Its to comment on what enda said today not about the particlars on peoples stance or chaces in a recruitment process.

    Thank you


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,223 ✭✭✭Canyon86


    be fcking great if recruitment remained ticking over even an intake every six
    months would be great for morale and the country as a whole,

    roll on the good times


    stay positive lads and ladies:)

    I definitely do think we'll be seeing regular intakes of 100 for the forseeable future. I'd say another 100 will go in once the September intake hit the streets, another 100 after the December intake hits street and so on!!

    Not too much happened. Noreen was the most important person in that room and on campus, the rest of the crew said their typical spiel about being the future, new changes and calling all the recruits "elites" of Ireland for getting ahead of all the others in the competition. I'm sure the words may have worked to motivate a lof the lads in templemore, but for those of us with smaller Ego's, I think we just saw through the vote buying thing.

    Enda's words of never closing templemore again is just an empty promise, he can't stop it from closing once he's out of office. However, lots of hints towards bigger budgets were thrown around, which means there may be more intakes and the competition will continue to bring in more candidates.

    The most significant things were the actual state visit of the campus, also the fact that it brings the recruits into the public eye, I know to use who've been eyeballing this forum on boards for the better part of 2 years now are well aware of what's going on, but I'd say a lot of the general population don't really know much at all, so this news does help a bit.

    Also, hopefully, Enda and Frances realise the need for much more than 300 new recruits and they hurry up the restoration of the college dorms and employ more faculty to operate the college, but, i won't expect any of that until 2016.

    Mate I counted 5 spelling mistakes in your last sentence alone. Are you trolling? That spelling can't be for real? Not picking on anyone but come on.



    Rte Claire Byrne on now saying that they reckon the state is reconsidering their decision on closing a lot of the rural stations. Things are starting to look up for recruitment in the future atleast:D:D:D

    Anyway all the best with it, hope it works out for you!!

    Above poster has already stated that he suffers from a learning support condition that affects his spelling and grammar. Please cut him some slack

    To keep Templemore ticking over and not see it closing again, how many would be recruited a year? I know its election time but I don't think any Minister for Justice or Taoiseach will wan't to close Templemore again. Also, very positive words from the minister yesterday encouraging the new recruits to blow the whistle on bad practices.
