    Well as I said it appears to be different for each candidate.
    Initially it was supposed to be the end of September for July candidates who were successful at interview to be called for medical and hearing test.
    Now it could be the end of October or even early November.

    Do any of you know how they know clearance has been complete? Do they contact you or vice versa.

    Did anyone find the PCT hard? Still waiting to hear from them. I'd have a fairly decent level of fitness (gym 5/6 times a week) but don't want to be surprised and cardio isn't my strong point

    I personally didn't, but I had been training with a senior hurling team all year so had a decent level of fitness. If cardio isn't your strong point I would strongly recommend focusing on that, the 40 x 15 series of runs seem to be where most people struggle.

    Jaysus I'm sure you flew it. I've been doing the 40 x 15 in about 2 mins 30 seconds. I just have to keep on it to stay at that level so there's no surprises on the day

    I did my pct in March and got around the same for the run, if u keep that kinda time u will fly the whole thing, they leave the run till the very end anyway because it is the hardest part of the pct.

    Every two weeks, it's a lot better than monthly.

    It’s the office of the CMO in Smithfield. As far as I’m aware that’s who you need to contact if there is an issue and vice versa.
