I did my interview in June and PCT in October and I'm still waiting. I was told by a detective friend that my file has not been sent to Garda vetting(He checked this very recently) I contacted IPS recently and I was advised clearance not back. It's a pain waiting!! Anybody from June still waiting?

Well done on passing so far. When you do the PCT you will also do an orientation which consists of a tour of Midlands Prison and a classroom talk with a Chief Officer. Now I can't say for sure but the impression I got was if you had something planned prior to training like an operation. If there's a bereavement then they will let you off too. There was no mention of Holiday arrangements. In saying all that, you can ask on the day of your PCT and you'll get a straight answer.If you get an offer to start you can also mention it then and maybe defer until the next class. With abit of luck the timing will work out for you. I'm pretty sure you can defer your PCT if it happens to be while your away too. Not sure about medical. Best of luck

U have the option to defer your start date

Anyone have the email address for contacting Irish prison services in regards to next stages and so on? Thanks

Paddy 42

What stage of the campaign are you currently at?
If you post your questions on here I'm sure that other candidates can advise or answer them?

I’ve passed interview and just wanted to query had they got an estimated time of how long I’ll be wait to here in relation to the next stage

Paddy 42

Well done congrats.
Next stage so will be :

: Medical then PCT
It's not possible to give an accurate time frame on when you will be called for both medical and pct,as this depends entirely on when IPS decide to put more candidates forward to do them.

Hi guys I’m just after getting my results for the interview and I passed can someone explain the order of merit system ? Is it the order of merit for the day in which you are interviewed or is it the order or merit for the campaign ?

OOM is for the whole campaign.

Sorry just don't understand how it's over the whole campaign.? I just found out I'm OOM 7 but I only just done my interview last week surely there's people from previous interviews that are a higher OOM than me and would have completed their fitness and stuff already? I assume the OOM is taken from the batch they interviewed that particular time? I just don't understand.?
