    Fantastic. I’m waiting for my Garda clearance now :/ when is the orientation day? Did the call or emailed you? Thanks


  • Registered Users Posts: 3 sarahern1510


    I got an email today inviting me to the orientation and asking me to pick my preferred location.

    about 20mins later a guy called me from the IPS to ask me to respond to the email asap.

    I'm in top 20 but was never told where I was placed. They did tell me when I was placed in the top within the top 20 until vetting and health check was completed.

    I should have asked the guy today but I actually thought it was a different job ringing me so i wasnt thinking straight.

    start date is 30th of March if there is an opening in the prison you are looking for

    That’s great! How long were you waiting for your vetting? I heard it’s up to 12 weeks? Also are they listing only main prisons? Thanks

    I think it was about 5 weeks from when I submitted the vetting. I got an email 3 weeks ago to say they were sending a disclosure to the dept of justice but then heard absolutely nothing for 3 weeks despite emailing them twice! now they seem to want to rush everything through.

    it listed all the prisons. I'm only applying for limerick.

    Anyone applying for Castlerea?


  • Registered Users Posts: 39 BlueCorra


    Guys, any idea what Central Processing Unit in Santry is? There is very little info - I believe its easier to get promoted in actual prison than CPU?


  • Registered Users Posts: 3 twluna88


    I found this thread over the weekend.. thanks guys :)
    I emailed IPS and I am in the 50s for placement. I am currently employed, should I still be hopeful with getting taken on within the IPS? My current job is being phased out by the end of this year and I don't know whether to apply for other permanent roles that might suit or hold out?

    How was orientation? Any details?


  • Registered Users Posts: 356 ✭✭Royal87


    Guys i dropped out so. Maybe it open up a place for someone best of luck everyone
