    How many are they likely to interview for the first 66 jobs? I am in the 400's so am I right in saying it's over for me?

    I got low 400, quite surprised with that to be honest (thought I done worse, as in totally out). I wouldn't imagine we are out at all, if they didn't want us they would have told us today. I dropped back quite a lot of places from stage 1. Would have loved to see results. 400 isn't as great as 30, but I haven't been told I am out so will await further instructions on what's next !

    Don't be negative. And read the post from Arruabarrena, he said all sucessful applicants will be interviewed.

    Thanks guys for the positivity. Sometimes family feedback is the most negative! How many were eliminated at stage 2 I wonder. It seems most past! Why would they interview us all for 66 jobs though or even say 100 jobs?

    You'd be surprised how quick you would burn over the pages of people, no shows, not fit, didnt pass interviews, dont pass working at height and small spaces tests it is still a long road yet to be travelled. Hang in there, as I said 400 not as great a position as 30 but still we haven't been told no.

    I'd say everyone who's posted so far is looking good for an interview.

    I have family in the service and they have told me it's over for me I hope they are wrong and you are correct.

    Can't wait to see the full breakdown of my results. Walking out of the PAS I really thought I had foundered on the observation. Really thought I had got nothing on the first video.

    I'm trying to keep people informed. I've not told any mistruths thus far so if someone wants to question anything I've said I'll happily say nothing in future.

    With respect to the guy's in your family, the only people that can tell you that your are out is Dublin City Council from this point, if you think your out you'll be playing catch up from here if and when you get called. You might be right we might not get called, but I honestly don't see the point in PAS tell us they will get in touch, AGS interviewed 600/1000 people for the first 100 trainee Garda so the numbers sound about right for 66. Stay calm don't jump the gun, and like the mail says await further instructions.

    I'm not questioning you, all I'm saying is my family are basing their opinion on past testing where passing does not mean you will be interviewed, but maybe this time is different and I hope so for my case.

    Surely they will get 66 positions from the top 200 people? I can't see why they need to interview 500 candidates. But again I am not familiar with their reasoning.

    My opinion would also counter the wording of the letter we received, where it does suggest they will be contacting us all who passed, so fingers crossed.

    Testing changes with time as does everything.

    I was told by a number of family in the job 400. I'm gonna wait and see tho as anything can happen. I scored in too 10 which I'm delighted with so I'm probably safe but something to note is just because your email says you passed doesn't guarantee your gonna be called up. It was the same for stage 2 where people into the 1500s were told they passed stage 1 and pas will call people soon. This didn't work out and only 679 were called.

    I wouldn't rule anyone out but I wouldn't at the same time be thinking your guaranteed. Nobody knows how many DCC will take forward

    Best of luck all

    Exactly my point. Stage one had people passing and receiving congratulations emails who were as low as 4000, I know people who came that low and passed. Look what happened them nothing! Only 670 got to stage 2.

    I'm just being practical, they want the cream of the crop and will interview lots, but there are only 66 jobs right now, they will not interview all of us for them, if they want a big panel then yes they will.

    So 15 days of interview if you minus weekends 200 candidates divided by 15 is 13 being interviewed per day (about right I would say). Why would anyone tell me I'm going to get a call when I'm in the 400's!!!!

    It costs nothing to have a panel. I would say 100 jobs plus 50 for the panel. That covers 2 classes for next year should budget allow and manpower need it

    15 days minus weekends, divide 15 by 200 equals 13 per day. You think they will double that to 26 per day and reach 400! I doubt it sincerely.

    Why does the email received wish you all the best in the future!!! That scares me, did everyone receive that wording on their email?

    More than 26 per day that's for sure.

    Previous interviews have had four interview panels.40 minutes each per interview. Starting at 8 o clock that's 12 interviewed before 10 o clock. Another 3 sessions before lunch and 3 sessions after. That's 36 a day.
    36 x 13 days of interviews is 368 which is 70% of 670. Interviews will cease on the 16th as wont interview paddys day on day after.
