    Heard starting is 27k but with overtime and weekend/night rates it can go a lot higher.

    Yeah if heard its around 47k a year but would you want to be working 50 or so hours a week , will spend most of your life in prison

    Don’t worry man, think of this as an experience for yourself! I myself have applied for the guards 3 times already and I’ll apply again when they recruit (I’ve never made it past stage 2). Purely because I have nothing to lose and everything to gain. If I were you, I’d look up similar maths to those which were in stage two and practice, practice, practice! That’s all there is to it! As simple as that!

    Have you applied for the garda before it's pretty much the same tests , I think a lot more go for the garda I could he wrong, I remember someone said before they went from the prison service to garda as didnt like working in the prison . You need to do an irish oral if you failed Irish in the leaving. Best of luck just keep trying and you will get in they will be recruiting for the next few years aswell as garda .

    stage is 2 for the guards is far from easy, a lot fail on stage 2, its a supervised test of the same tests in stage 1, and if you get passed it, even more fail during stage 3, the interview, so don't take it lightly , unlucky on failing today, but don't take any recruitment phase lightly

    I think they will rush it through once lockdown ends or eases at least.

    Right. They told me you couldnt do fitness until after Garda clearance came through. Just did my medical up until now. Would like to have fitness out of way.
