They are calling the next batch of 30 roughly to do medicals in October/November depending on when they finish the fitness tests of the first 35 candidates from this campaign.

who sends the garda clearance the ips r the public appointment service does anyone no

mmmmmdaly · 24-09-2019 2:24pm

So the security clearance actually goes to Northern Ireland, The Garda have nothing to do with it, It can take upwards of 12 months for it to come back. with the whole brexit thing now, it could be longer. The day you do your interview it is sent away by public jobs, they then send the result to the IPS, after the interview public jobs are finished with the hiring process

Rang the ips today, I'm in the 60s of the 2019 campaign, told me end of november/start dec before I will get called for medical as they are trying to get through the last of the 2018 campaign and dont have a whole pile left, said I could be looking at january for physical and then it's a case of "how long is a piece of string" after that with regards start date as they run them every month except summer when theres holidays etc... painfull waiting

Hi Everyone
Is the prison service clerical officer the same as a clerical officer who works for social welfare?
Is the benefits the same, eg flexi time?
Thanks

No flexi. Not a job I'd recommend unless you're badly stuck for work. Not sure that it's possible to transfer out either once established. You'd have to work the odd Saturday and weekday evening.

Got an email last thursday, inviting me for medical and hearing, all has to be back by oct 31st, so I'm guessing I might get called for the physical nov/dec. Had my medical today, went sound, very basic, should be sound unless you have health problems. Oh, keep your bmi under 30 or you will have to do some sort of step test in dublin.

Hard to say, depends how long ago? I'm guessing though.

I heard of lads with public order offenses might have got in? Passage of time might be key. But then again....I dont know I'm guessing

Drink driving is a road traffic offence,not a criminal offence so you should be fine once you put it down on your security clearance form.how much over the limit were you and have you been convicted?

Not yet, I thought mine was delayed due to them wanting a letter from my Doctor to say I recovered from everything on my questionnaire.

Sea eagle 101 · 17-10-2019 2:14pm

Best of luck, I'm in the 60's so presuming I'm the 2nd batch as I have medical and hearing all sent back.

Have you to do an orientation of the prison that day before the test? I heard some mention of that?
