If your vetting is back already you might have an outside chance. Time is against you though.

does the vetting include your interview with the super ?

Yeah that’s part of your local vetting

so if the appointments say you have vetting outstanding is that just the meeting that i have with the super?

No that’s only one part of it. The super would only be signing off local vetting. Could still be other vetting outstanding.

There have been people who've only been given a day's notice! I'm same as you - supposed to give employer 4 weeks notice.

I've no idea sorry, you'd have to ring HRM and find out. But if your medical or fitness or vetting runs out in the meantime while you wait for the next intake you have to redo them.

Hi I am wondering if you have a certain length of time to hand in your noticed to work can do they have to defer your place till next intake ? Or do you lose your place ?

One more question. We get paid roughly 184€ while we are down there. Is this payment organised by the college in the induction week or do we have to sort it out with our local Intreo office before we go down?

Witcher · 03-04-2019 8:46pm

Why would you sort it with the Intreo office? You're being paid directly by the Dept. of Justice.

You won't get paid for your induction week but you'll supply bank details that week and the payment will commence when your formal training begins.

Ah grand, I just thought it would have been similar to 'job seekers benefit' and that we'd have to sort it out before we go.

Thanks for the reply.

Is April Intake full or is there still offers going out ?

NYB · 04-04-2019 10:40am

From the posts here it seems they go out a few at a time. Not sure how many but that was the way they did it for the 8th.

Mmk123 · 04-04-2019 12:41pm

Hiya Folks

Sorry if this has been said already, but can't seem to find it.

Just applied for the new intake for later this year, and was wondering do I have to have any kind of driving licence? I have never needed one as I cycle everywhere.

Anyone have any input on this?

Cheers!

No license required to join.

Can anyone tell me if having 3 penalty points on my drivers licence for speeding would go against my acceptance for the 2019 Garda intake? I have had a clean drivers licence for almost 10 years and I have just picked up 3 points in last month.

Nope I’m the same and got them before I applied and I’m accepted in the April intake! Just make sure you disclose that information to them!

Hi all,

Got my offer this evening for April 15th. Absolutely over the moon but like many others I'm in my final year of college and I will have to defer until July or else it'll be 4 years of work down the drain. Can I ask if there are others here who deferred for this reason, did you just ring up HRM and explain the situation? And if so, how understanding/accommodating were they?

Thanks in advance folks, and congrats to all who received their offer!

Know a few people who did it and they’re very understanding and usually they’d recommend you finish up with college first anyway as it’ll help you down the line

congrats!

You won't need to buy white runners. You will have no problems with whatever you currently have. Don't buy the judo suits. You can get them off the intake that are currently in there as they will be finished before you need them.

You won't be getting a judo suit from me, or half the intake, half of us had to buy ours, cheeky slag
