    Folks, just wondering do I need my full medical history with me on the day of the medical in Dublin? Cheers

    No, unless there is something significant you need to tell them or explain

    Lovely hurling, cheers!

    Another couple questions for anyone to chime in; In the PCT, for the sit-ups, do your hands have to be touching your temple? I tend to do my sit-ups arms out in front & my understanding is hands to the temple method is more of a crunch than sit-up. Second question is; do they hold your feet when doing them?
    Have my PCT the 28th, nervous and excited rolled into one!!

    Hands on the temples and elbows have to pass the knees so it's more a crunch. They stand on your feet and count how many you do

    Hi, just have a question regarding retests for the physical exam. Was anyone advised that they needed to confirm their retest with appointments? Received an email that told me I needed to give confirmation of my attendance by a particular date that had already passed at the time of receiving the email. Really afraid of what’s going to happen so if anyone can give me some advice I’d really appreciate it!
    just give them an email to let them know of the error and they should confirm another date!

    Wear whatever you want with him! It's just a chat. I was going training straight after so I had my gear on and he was delighted with me even said it to my references straight after. Wore a suit yesterday meeting the super and to be honest I don't think he expected me to he said it was just a chat too!

    Would it be correct to say that of the July intake starts on the 15th of July the first of the two induction weeks will begin on the 1st July which will then be the cut off point for entry?

Do you get to re do and how long would you be waiting etc... also BMI situation... what do you have to be and do they give you time to get it down? I know this was probably answered numerous times but just want to be sure for my self. If anyone could shed some light that would be great, thanks

    If you fail the fitness you will be given a second chance in 12 weeks, if you fail again you are then out of the competition. The BMI needs to be less than 30, if it is higher they will give you 6 months to get it into range

    Hi All, I’ve a question I passed the PCT about a week a go and now I have the medical
    In two weeks! I know I have to get laser eye surgery done which I think I’ll have done before the exam but my BMI is a little over the 30! Is it an automatic fail if your over the 30? Even if nothing else is wrong with you.

    A deferral I believe. I think you automatic fail only if over 35.

    Don't quote me!!

    Does anybody know of people who have deferred and had issues getting on the next intake? I have been offered to defer to finish a course that will be done by the next possible intake of November/December but they said acceptance is not guaranteed. Worried about turning July down and then getting no further offers

    I deferred from April for college and received offer that I accepted for July intake.

    But I am just one example, so don't take my word for it.
