    After the devastating news of failing stage 3 yesterday, I’m just wondering when the next campaign is? I heard it’s September 2018?

    You can appeal to PAS to resit the stage 3, complain that your result should have been higher etc

    Think the deadline for appeals is Monday around 10am

    Would a new recruitment campaign not start in January, February, at least I couldn't see it not happening before September 18? Thats over 9 months away.

    Going off of Jan 16, Sep 16, Jun 17, it seems to be 9 month gaps so probably March 18?

    Regarding age, I'll be 34 in August so I'm getting pretty damn close to the cut off. Do you only have to be under 35 at the point of application?

    Like, if the next applications are accepted in September 2018 I'll be 34 but what if I wasn't called for training until after I turned 35...?

    I assumed it was up to 35? Meaning that your application wouldn't be accepted if you were 36..

    It's our age at the closing date of campaign . So you could be 34 and 11/12. And it could take u 2 years to get in so ideally you could be 37

    Almost a week ago and no sign of a new campaign yet. I'd say nobody knows for sure. Until it's officially launched. Other wise it's all just speculation imo..

    Hi lads, I'm very much looking forward to recruitment opening this year. However I do have one question that I just can't seem to find the answer to anywhere else, where do you find the application itself once it is possible to apply?

    I'm also somewhat concerned my age may have a big enough deal to play in selection, I'm only 19 years of age as of now. Do you think that will play a role in how they look at the application or how they respond to it?

    You need to register with publicjobs.ie. Then sign up for alerts.

    19 year olds have been recruited in the last couple of years, so no issue there.

    Just make sure you have some sort of voluntary/community experience and you will be grand.

    I was able to fill out the application form online, and then it only gave the option to upload it. However, the only file that appears to be uploadable is the Step 3 (info for the interview).

    Hey you must have Adobe Reader downloaded on your machine, If you download the application form as usual then right click the file and select "Open in Adobe Reader" this should work.

    I know I posted above, but just to clear something up: Is the PDF application form the one with the details for the interview stage (ie. jobs, hobbies)? That is the one I downloaded and am currently filling out to put in with the online application form. The last recruitment drive I took part in (September 2016) that particular form wasn't filled out until you were called for an interview.
