    I was on to IPS the other day and i think they said the next PCT is Jan 10th. Does anybody know what point on the pay scale would a Garda with 12years service enter at?

    I did my medical and audiogram in October. The medical examiner informed me that he would post the relevant forms to IPS. I am yet to hear anything back from IPS. Anyone else in the same boat?

    I was the same the doctor used the short version on my first name and the audiologists did my full name. I had to ring the doctor again and ask to send it on again. They also lost my pre employment questionnaire. I’d advise everyone to ring up and check if it’s all received.

    It’s still going on. I rang again yesterday to find out if they got it. The doctor is saying he sent it and the CMO is saying they didn’t receive it. They will not accept email copies so he has to send it for a 3rd time. 👎ðŸ»

    Good to hear you got word back. Did IPS call or email you to let you know your clearance came back. I'm still waiting, was interviewed in June and have everything else done since October!

    Are there still many people applying with view to transferring to Cork or Limerick prisons down the line? With the cost of accommodation in Dublin lately I can't imagine too many people will still be able to stump up five or ten years waiting to get down.

    Honestly I wouldn’t base any decisions on it such is the expectation management from the service. 5 years would be a very generous estimate too. It would definitely lean towards 10. You would also need to consider the list expanding as the new recruits arrive in.

    Recruits joining after you will have no bearing on your place on the list.

    There are people gone to Limerick and Castlerea this year with 8 years service, there will likely be at least 1 recruit getting to Cork next year, such is the rate of retirement there.

    I'm still waiting since February for clearance part of the 2016 campaign. Not sure how people from 2018 are getting clearance already.

    I've heard of people waiting 10-15 years waiting to get to Cork.

    That is correct but you will sporadically hear of junior staff getting down depending on the situation at that time. (with 30 odd retirements imminent in Cork, there is an rpo in the top 20 for Cork. He will still be an rpo when he gets there, if you were top 20 for an open centre however, you'd likely be looking at another couple of years)

    7 years ago there were recruits in Castlerea, it's an anomaly and certainly not something you can count on.

    Good feedback, thanks. What about recruits before you? Eg. if you are in a class later in the year , will the Jan/February recruits have a higher standing in the list?

    ^^I'm out.^^

    The fact is there's big movement at the moment due to retirements, promotions and resultant recruitment. Rate of movement will vary from time to time.

    Best of luck with it, Dublin isn't so bad.

    Yeah they said they are still waiting to close the 2016 campaign. Don't know how 2018 are getting clearance first. Frustrating
