Then being told your prize is to work for €1.90 an hour doing duties. Believe me the army training is hell. We hadn’t even heating in our 8 man rooms during training.

Iv done everything I can in my control to try and figure out what the story is with my file but nobody can tell me anything. Had to re do half of the process after Xmas because the time lapsed. If I don’t get April I think i will have to draw a line under it and move on. I can’t continue to live in limbo anymore .

I lived in England for 6 years because I was in the British army so I'm assuming that's what is keeping me but I didn't think it'd take this long. Really starting to lose hope now. Been told different things when I ring up doesn't help either.

Leeroyjenkins wrote: » Hey guys anyone still waiting on their vetting to come back that's from the September 2016 campaign? I rang in January and was told its awaiting the final check and I rang today and was told there's still part of my vetting outstanding so I feel like I'm been giving the run around here.

There was a girl who failed too but she had like 5 cigarettes before entering the beep test. Nerves? I don't know I don't have them I guess! I loved the number on PCT about 25 people, we got to know each other. I was expecting much more people on that day there. Also I know a guy who got Feb intake and he is telling me life in Templemore isn't easy - very strict!!! You aren't treated like a child nor like a student. Curfew after 12, no pictures, gone from social media, not to leave campus while in your uniform. Very army like!!! PARKING - nightmare! Those who have children can request for special leave (night for going home) but not guaranteed you will get it. College from 9-5 after 5pm there's nothing to do!

People will still have outstanding vetting so you could find that some june campaign will get in before September 16 do. However i do agree with you, if you have the physical in march it would be zero chance of April. Just for the simple fact that offers would more than likely be out in march giving you little time before vetting sign off. I would say hope for july but it could be later. Regards P

She said my vetting came back and two names showed up and she wanted to know what dealings I have with them. I'm thinking one has got to do with a cousin which I have nothing ever got to do with her and never had any dealings with her and I know she is not a savoury character. I do not have any vetting issues myself just them two relatives but I don't know who the other person is. How serious would your relatives interactions be with the Gardaí to receive a generally unsuitable letter? Is this normal have other applicants received calls like this? Just a bit worried and have spent a lot of time and effort into the whole recruitment process. Thank you.
