    There's just an outline of maternity and sick leave, an extensive FAQ document which is very helpful, they also ask for a list of relatives up to and including first cousins residing in the Republic of Ireland, so I'd say make a start on that now. A list of items to bring for training but most of them have to be purchased at the college.

    Thanks for that will start looking at them now! Best of Luck hoping to start in October so may see you up there!

    Does the info pack say anything about when the annual leave/reading weeks are?

    Yes they mention them but no specific dates, it's says it's up to the college to decide specific dates. It also mentions we get 2 weeks off after the 32 weeks.

    Hi,

    I'm starting my induction week at Templemore on Monday. Does anyone know what types of clothing I should be bringing.As its manual lifting and first aid, i assumed it would be casual wear but I've been told to wear a suit down and bring shirts etc.

    If anyone has done the induction week, please can they advise?

    Many thanks

    I'm not in yet but when my brother was in there he said he had to wear a suit for the few days he was there during the induction and had to bring tracksuits and stuff also, he also had to wear a suit until he was given the uniform.

    Thanks for that, there was no information in the pack I got sent re the induction week apart from the first aid training and the manual lifting. Wasnt going to bring suit for the induction week so glad I asked now :)

    I have the induction week this month too and to be safe I’m just going to bring everything on the list in the pack with me from day one.
    Better to be safe than sorry.

    Hi lads,
    Might be a silly question, but we should probably arrive at collage in suits for the first day, right?

    Hey! I’ve just started the process! Can’t believe how long some of you have been waiting to get in. Any tips for stage 3 interview? And When would you guys recommend training for the physical test?

    You could be called for pct in 4 months depending on results of interview, medical etc it is very tough especially the beep test, depending on your current fitness level it would do no harm to start training now particularly on stamina and then it will be a walk in the Park by the time you do it

    Only if you email them looking for an update. If you don't make contact the first you'll hear of it is when you get an offer or a 'generally unsuitable to be a garda' letter..

    Has anyone on forum lived away from Ireland in last 5 years? Just regarding vetting, enquired through a local garda, said my vetting may take 6-12 months because I lived in the States for a year, anyone know can this be quickened up at all by any means?

    I am in the same position lived abroad for a few years only the UK not USA, I don't know if vetting starts after form B is sent to the vetting beureu or after local vetting from super is sent in, I sent away form B going on 7 months ago now, you read the stories on this about files going missing or having someone with weight about them who can chase it up (garda or TD), I dont think it can be quickened though as the checks have to be done regardless. I'd be happy just for an update as in its in process, its not started, its finished, or we lost it, rather than vetting is outstanding.

    “A little bit of vetting” .... that’s what I was told yesterday when I rang HR. This is 23 months after I have applied. Is someone taking the piss or what, this is an absolute joke. I was closer to 20 when I applied now I’m closer to 30! Wtf is going on, how can it be taking this long. I’ve put my whole life on hold for this. Is anybody else in the same boat? ..

    So unfair, but this can happen. A friend of mine who was in psni was told the same even though he had clearance already and like you was waiting over a year but finally got in and nearly finished in Templemore now so hang in there
