    Does anybody know what the medical entails? I assume its bloods and a detailed run down of any medical conditions you have ever had.

    Also what are the facilities like in the training college? Is there a gym there or anything?

    Oh and is there a rent allowance for recruit prison officers? :rolleyes:
    no the union gave it away

    less than 23k for first two or 3 years

    That would be a good bit off,

    The salary is around €22500 p/a, but when you add on the different allowences plus AH(over time) it should be around the €32000 mark,

    In relation to Form B, I've simply printed and filled it out by hand. Anyone know if this is acceptable? Thanks.

    The rent allowance as it stands isnt in place for new recruits but will be re-instated soon.Thats what I was told by prison officer when I was there for one of the stages.It was always likely to be reinstated with garda recruits getting their rent allowance back

    Hey, ya I had a missed call and received email from ips and called back, it was regarding my qualifications, I had given them transcripts rather than the scroll, so they were asking me to send it on

    Yeah I got a call on Tuesday looking for photo id even though I showed it on the day of the interview! So maybe it's something like that they called you for. Looks like things are moving forward quickly enough. Hopefully we get word soon.

    Maybe the people they are calling to check for verification have passed the interview? Seems odd if you already produced I.D.

    I mean why look for verification at this stage if you didn't pass the interview?

    Yeah I hoping that's the case but who knows! Could be possible that they lost the photocopy they took of it the first day!

    Absolutely. But again if you failed (which they know the result by now) why ask to see your papers? Maybe I'm jumping the gun.
