    I found some of the prep questions harder than the actual apptitude exam but they explained them so well that it was all grand in the end..

    Anyone going down tomorrow, what are you bringing? Personally I was thinking just a suit and money to buy the tracksuit. Other then that I was going to leave the rest until the official start date of the 23rd (I.e Laptop, Runners etc..)

    I’d assume you’re not doing manual handling and first aid in a suit so you’ll need runners for that tracksuit?

    Hi Guys,

    Congrats to all of those who got offers!! :)

    Just off topic, the 2019 campaign is out and I will be applying but I'm worried about the vetting (if I hopefully get that far) - basically I was born and bred in Ireland but my dad is originally from Kuwait, he left us when we I was 2 years old and went back to Kuwait and since then we havn't heard from him. My Mam doesn't know his family or anything, she only ever met his mother! I tried googling him and I found out he's the president of some surgery in Kuwait, I have plagued the place since January as I anticipated a campaign but never heard back.

    Basically my question is - was anyone else in the same/similar boat or am I completely ****ed in terms of vetting???


    I wonder if you could contact the Kuwait Embassy in Dublin or the British Embassy in Kuwait or the Irish Embassy in UAE and ask them if Kuwait has anything similar to the General Register Office in Dublin where you can pay to search all the births, deaths & marriages. You could also try contacting genealogy services to see if any of them might know if this information is searchable.

    It also might be enough to put your dad's name, occupation, the address of the surgery as his address and if there is a GRO get his birth cert to find out who his parents are - the birth cert will hopefully have some sort of address on it for your grandparents. And leave it at that. As far as you know he has no siblings. But if there is a GRO you can search for any potential aunts/uncles that way. It will be horribly painful and I doubt it's online, so you may have to pay someone to do it for you or keep ringing the surgery/pay an interpreter to ring the surgery.

    I don't envy your position. It's a fecking horrible old process, and I wish you the very best of luck with it.

    No they don’t exist, they’ll realise this when no one shows up with one.

    Edit

    You'll enter details they give to you on your own Revenue account online and that will change your tax credits over.

    Purpose of the P45 for the College is to prove you've ceased your employment really, get a letter from your employer if possible to that effect.

    If you are on about the initial application, you can't view it on google chrome, etc. Has to be viewed in adobe as far as I'm aware.
