Very good, was going to say double check ye will be ok with in and out and won’t have to pay for the weeks your out on placement or whatever, because there is placement week 3 and again then after the 11 weeks in class for 8 weeks

Yeah he was all good with that. But to be honest I don't mind actually paying for one week just to retain the accommodation. One less thing to worry about.

Oh 100% I’m fairly lucky I’ll be able to commute! But even at best a hotel would be €50 a night, so saving regardless even if had to pay!

Absolutely, where abouts are you commuting from?

Hey. New here, long time follower but never had an account. If my medical and references all go to plan I'll be starting down in Tullamore 25th Jan too.

Those apartments in Tullamore sound brilliant big drop from €200/€250a week for hotel. Im coming from Cork so would be ideal to find people and try and get an apartment like that.

Well that's cool, see they are 4 double beds, 2 room apartments. So there is 2 lads and one girl in our apartment. I'm sure it'll be sound even if ya get the other apartment, we'll be next door is imagine. More the merrier for studying and everything, makes it a bit easier being away from home too.

Looking forward to meeting everyone! Won’t be long now until we will all be starting

Not a fan of the hotel deal myself. I think the tallaght one is €55 per night. That doesn't include meals or anything. No access to fridge, freezer, kitchen etc.

Could just get a few people to rent an apartment for the same price per month and have a bit of independence I guess.

CorkG86 · 03-12-2020 11:27pm

Exactly!! By time you factor in eating out etc be a big chunk of your wages gone and not to mention your bills back home.

Hopefully get a few like minded people in tullamore for an apartment

Lyonstea13 · 04-12-2020 6:29pm

Well lads,

Due to start in tallaght on the 11th am looking forward to it!!

Got the confirmation to confirm my contract address and I’m just wondering has anyone received their contract yet? We’ve a new postman so I’m a bit paranoid ðŸ˜‚

Hope you’re all good can’t wait to meet you all in January ðŸ˜

They issue contracts via email, I got mine 2 days ago, your address is used for location of placements.

Scoobasteve123 · 04-12-2020 6:58pm

Got mine via email on Wednesday, signed and returned yesterday.
I've two weeks of unemployment after Christmas to clear the head before getting stuck into studying. Definitely looking forward to it!

Was it the recruit contracting email that sends it? do they send them all at once or in batches does anyone know??

Yeah it was recruit contracting. They apparently flat out so I wouldn't worry at all. All the other emails seemed to follow a pattern of being sent out in batches.

I had my medical in Galway today. There's a detailed questionnaire to fill in. Urine sample. Height, weight, chest and waist measurement, BP, blood test, if your BMI is over 30 there is a brief step test. The doctor told me you would need to have severe cardiovascular disease to fail it.
The eye test, tests your peripheral, long and near vision through a visor type device, colour blindness test too, close your bad eye if its too blurred. Finished off with a hearing test, tip is look at the floor in the booth.

Best of luck!

Have to say, my medical was far from anything like this.
It was actually pretty atrocious. Not going to make waves however.

CorkG86 · 07-12-2020 2:49pm

Thanks have medical this week so fingers crossed

Scoobasteve123 · 07-12-2020 5:10pm

I start on Jan 11th in Tallaght and still don't have a contract

TheOriginalJ · 07-12-2020 8:21pm

Interesting, thought we would all get contracts around the similar time, vetting is prob back logged but we could do with getting that asap

Are you also the 11th start date? I assumed they would have issued them the same time also but obviously in seperate batches..

Yes the 11th also, just find it unusual that all contracts were not issued within the same week at least, also vetting can be slow so we could really do with the link to complete soon
