Waiting Room - 2020

i think this will be good news for us waiting as it might halt a planned 2020 campaign, and fast forward people waiting

Was thinking the same, though I'm still waiting on the interview with the local Sergeant and Super as well as vetting! :rolleyes:

Yea I’m in the same boat , realistically form b won’t be out till mid April the way things are going , and I predict the April and June intakes will now take place in September/Oct , which will leave us free to take up mid December early 2021 ,
Im telling myself it’s a blessing, save a few pound and get even fitter ha

I'm looking at it all with a silver lining (takes a bit of effort, don't get me wrong there) - the whole place is up in a heap over this virus and whatever we need to do to get a handle on it, then so be it, that's the most important thing right now.

I'm going to take it as an opportunity to save up a few bob (moving back in with the parents instead of renting my own house) and I abhor where I work at the moment - the manager found out that I had went ahead with my application to the Gardaí and hadn't asked her 'permission' first, so it's been hell in there since. I've found a new job closer to home, so it'll tide me over until we can all sit back and laugh about that time we overreacted about coronavirus (hopefully!).

Stay safe out there guys ... wash the paws

Numbers now at 14,758 - the goal is 15000. Any one else worried that they just freeze the campaign now long term. If new members are out until at least September. May look like January onwards they bring people back into the college.

Any opinions?

What I took from that was some of the 14758 was including retired and detectives and templemore staff , hopefully I’m wrong but ya , the future looks bleak enough

More with all personnel.

I know I seen it on fb , I can’t see why they would be planning a 2020 campaign initially if they had all us still lined up and the members at 14700 planned by end of year ,
I doubt these Garda that got attested today will be returning to templemore ? As silly as that sounds , they have been attested after all

I think they will have to go back to complete academic assessments at some point.

But isn’t that like taking exams after you have got your qualification and your cert, logically yes they would have to go back , but it may be on the job learning this time, it’s a mess to be honest , may I ask what Oom you were ?
