Well done all on yer offers. Delighted for ye, some more than others. Commiserations to a small handfull of us too. Been a long 18 months for us. Feel for ye, I knew was out of running but keep the faith (tall glass). It's depressing , I know but we'll get there at some point.
To the rest of ye who's prayers were answered a massive congrats. Enjoy the celebrations. Who knows what next week has in store ......

I read in a different thread that there is talk of another campaign starting in February. I'm mid 500s from September 2016 so it's looking likely I'm be going down in February. With so many people waiting to go in and the june 2017 campaign to join the queue it makes you wonder why they want more people applying.

More headaches to be had. With the cue of ppl waiting at the moment it's pointless to start a new campaign. Let these 3 campaigns run their course and when the number of applicants starts to thin out then start a new campaign. It's a recipe for disaster. And when they get their final number of trainees in what happens to the left over people.
" thanks for applying , putting all the effort in but we're full, try again in a cpl of years" .

I know a few people from the june campaign and theyre being told they could go in may or August next year. I told them not to expect to go in before 2019.

Still nothing. Doubt it will ever happen. Worst thing is, you can't even ****ing complain about it cause there's no one to complain to!

There's only a handful of people on here who know how ****ing deflating it is to see people get offers only for yourself not to hear a peep, time and time again.

But listen, I won't piss on the parade. Well done to all that got an offer. You put in the hard work and got to this stage, well done on that. Lots of exciting times ahead and best of luck to you on that. Have a nice strong drink or which tickles your fancy tonight and enjoy the next few months.

Very disappointing again for you. You never know maybe you will be offered a spot in the second round. Chin up don't lose faith!

Someone had a message up earlier saying they were setting one up, to pm them! I did and didnt get added and cant see their post about it! So if someone sets one up it'd be great or i can set it up either

To be honest they should not be saying when we're expected to go in. Their guess is as good as ours. Gives false hope. I was told I'd be there in may. Just adds to the head wrecking when 2 intakes extra have gone by.

Well lads, it's been a long road. For those of you still waiting there's always next week!

I didn't post much here today just cause I had to let it sink in all day today. I genuinely thought i didn't have a shot at November. With all the set backs and delays I genuinely never thought the day would come.

Exciting times ahead.
I'll see yiz all down there. If there's a wattsgroup I'll join in :P

I hope I was of some assistance to some of ye over the course of the last 18months(ish)

It's been emotional.

Quick question
How many are in a class altogether. In august are there 200 recruits. ? So the next take is November ? is that 200 more recruits ? When's the next intake after Nov. What I'm trying to work out how long should it take all things going well if u have a oom of late 700 (sept 2016)

May 0
August 150
Nov 200. To Oom350
Early next year 200 to Oom550
Spring 200 to oom750
Summer 200 to oom950

Is this how it works more or less

When i wrote this i've forgotten all about the many for Jan 16 recruitment process.
It appears now like this for people who entered in Sept 16
August 50
Nov 100. To Oom 150
Early next year 150 to Oom 400ish - taking into account entries from Jun17
Spring 150 to oom 600ish
Summer 150 to oom 800 ish

would it be somewhat correct

giggsey

I think your a little off JC43.

Seen on this tread someone with early 200's Sept 16 got an email.

Nov Round 1 Nov 0 To Oom 210
Nov Round 2 211 - 350
Feb 350-500

Have to factor in, failed/delayed physical, vetting delay, change of plans for people.

Great - well that's even better, i was being quite prudent as i know there are still older recruitment dates out there still and also taking into account the high oom of June17

Got it this morning too bud, thanks

dylanshhkyboy, killer91 (ironic user name for a new Garda!), congrats.

Are ye Sept16? OOM?

Anyone on boards with Sept 16 >200 OOM get an offer?

TallGlass

No joy for me for November unfortunately, still not prepared for sign off.

I'm starting to fear for my application at this stage, 2 years is a long time.

Has anyone got the "detailed letter and information pack" via Email? Or maybe it will be sent in the post? Long time reader but first time poster. Congrats to all who got offers so far!

You will receive information pack by post in a week or so.

Am I the only one left with vetting outstanding from Jan 16 ? I was told two weeks ago I was waiting to be signed off and now I was told that my vetting isn't finished ��

That's disheartening hopefully, you never know you may get a second round offer. Your vetting might clear by then.
