    Eh, are you sure you didn't apply via the Irish language route?

    Does anyone know if you can’t attend stage two, can you get it changed to a different week?

    A lot of people off in the next few weeks at work and I’d be deviated if I couldn’t attend the second stage! Just not sure if I’ll get to book the day off!

    I thought honesty would be a requisite for anyone wishing to be a police officer. You are advocating stealing a days service from your employer. Maybe society would be better off if you stayed where you are

    Talk about being up on your high horse. If my employer was refusing to give me time off to do the stage 2 test I’d have no problem pulling a sickie. I wouldn’t allow something like that to potentially cost me a career in the gardai.

    Maybe call PAS and ask if you can postpone it for a few days? :)

    The ends justifies the means? Thats the attitude that has ****ed up a lot of Garda careers.

    Well if I asked my boss for the day off to go and do my stage 2 test and he refused, I wouldn’t just say “ah well, I guess I’ll just abandon my dreams of being a guard”. Ridiculous.

    So you be dishonest and pretend you are sick. It all depends what standards you want to live by.

    Get over yourself will ya! Who's to say this person wont get the opportunity to apply again and this might be the career they have always wanted and due to bad timing it could be taken away from them???
    No, i think society would be better off if those without a lack of cop on stayed where they were.

    Telling lies to get a job which requires honesty and
    integrity. That's a great start.

    So I applied for the Fluent Irish stream & the email I received was in Irish so I wonder did you apply for that stream?

    Also do ye think the rankings are based on two different streams or all on the one list?
    I'm quite surprised by the number I received & I'm wondering is it based on Fluent Irish speaker applicants only?

    Anyway Congrats everyone :)

    That’s kinda what I was originally asking! I was thinking that this situation has surely occurred for someone else here! :) I’ve not been called yet anyway yet! So I’ll have to be called first! Cheers!

    I was in the 2000’s last year! It took approximately 1 month to be called for stage two.

    This year I’m approximately 1500. So surely I’ll be about a month? Similar too last year?

    So is this your second time applying? Did you fail at a later stage on last year's campaign?

    I also thought second batch would be called in August or so. Wonder why they're pushing it to October now?

    Yes! Failed stage 2 last year.

    That’s what I assumed, however you never know how these things may work! I guess we just gotta take it as it comes!
