I presume all the people for these classes are gone through security clearance and fitness?

Most of us done it before covid19 it might be easier in person so my advice is dont be shy and get your voice heard but also take on board what others say.

I didn't hear that lads thats not good, But would not be on future recruitment, by that i mean new campaigns. From what I hear there short on prison officers.

''Mr McGrath has been told that given the “urgent need” to manage Exchequer expenditure, there are a number of options that could be considered to reduce demand on the Exchequer in the short-term, including:

* A moratorium on recruitment other than for key front line areas for a period of 12 months''

'https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-40025909.html'

as far as im concerned p.o and garda's and nurses are key front line workers, so i would not be worrying

I'd love to even get my clearance back at least!

Im presuming if someone behind you in OOM and they have there clearance back that they cant overtake you????Also there is still 2018 applicants to be called so eitherway we have to wait for them before us???which could be a long time away.my oom is between 140 and 170 oom

Kells girls

Oom doesn’t matter if a clearance comes back and you have everything done and the guy above you hasn’t his clearance you go in

Alc 1986

Thats mad that that is the way i know a lad who is more than 50 behind me and he got his clearance .sure whats the point in doing well in an interview if someones garda vetting gets done before yours.no point in oom so .Person with least family to check up wins the race

It's harsh but they're not going to hold up a class because your vetting didn't come back. You'll come to learn that IPS is a machine of sorts, not always very efficient but it'll run on whatever fuel is available as fumes will only last for so long. Vetting is beyond their control so they will employ those who are readily available.

Was it by phone call?
PCP classes means the actual classes or physical tests?

Well done,I’m still waiting on mine.
Did they mention anything about running classes after the October class?
And the PCT is the fitness test.

But they never mentioned it to you?
If that’s the case they will probably run the PCT’s in November and December when the October class leaves Portlaois.
How long were you waiting on your clearance?
