    I really dont know. I'm only passing on what I heard.

    you were correct :rolleyes:

    'Gardaí have begun what they say is a major high visibility policing operation to support the new public health restrictions to curb the spread of Covid-19.

    Rosters are being changed and over 2,500 gardaí will be deployed every day on 132 static and mobile checkpoints, to community patrols and to support for the elderly and the vulnerable.

    Training in the Garda College has been suspended for the next nine weeks as 260 trainee gardaí and their tutors as well as members in administrative roles are deployed to police the Level 5 restrictions.

    There are long tailbacks on the main Belfast to Dublin motorway this morning.'

    My vetting has been cleared. I am from 2019 campaign. All done since February 2020. They said: "Pending on a final checking phase and your place within the overall order of Merit for the 2019 competition you may be selected as suitable applicant for a future class intake."

    Recruitment will be off for a while I’d guess. With the intakes who are in college being redeployed 201 and 202. The 193s are to go back and 203s have to start in the college.New recruits will be after them. It will be late 2021 by time a new recruits get started. We just have to remain ready. Atleast the vetting seems to be getting done !! My guess mid to late 2021

    The jury is still out on how they apply order of merit between the 2018 and 2019 campaigns.

    They seem to be rolling both recruitment drives into one and without being a pr*ck surely the 2018 campaign get the first look in for offers and then 2019!?-

    Rich_ccfc, your inbox is full. My oom is 510 from 2019 campaign. Differently from a few candidates here, I am very excited about next intake. I believe that as of today I am close to be considered for a next intake, because many have got their place, many failed the fitness test and others have failed the medical. So my hopes are high.

    Delighted for you man. Mine was 628 from the 2018 campaign. Like many many others the vetting is what is holding me back. Il delete some messages there. I have a WhatsApp group set up if you want to be in it just send me on your name and number. People find it easier to talk on it rather than this.

    I hope you’re right. The 201 and 202s are back sometime in new yeah year. The 193s and 203s will follow after the 201/2s finish their weeks in the college. A new intake not likely until the ones who are already in get finished up in the college. Again I hope your right but I just don’t see it being early 2021

    Before the pandemic we would have to be in the college for 32 weeks, however things have changed since the outbreak. Now is a mix of online, station and home training which means more candidates needed.

    You still have to do 16 weeks in the college which is compulsory. All I’m saying is they will be concentrating on getting the current intakes through the college before starting a new intake. With Covid the college can only facilitate so many students. At the moment they can only facilitate 200 students that’s what’s down there between 201 and 202. Then you’ve 193s and 203s to go to the college next. I don’t know how many weeks 193 need to do but 203s will have to do 16 weeks. It will be when the 193s are done they can facilitate new intake

    hopefully the next few weeks will see alot of work done on vetting. I'm from 2018 there are a good few of us still waiting, the college being closed until Jan 2021 isn't necessarily a bad thing. People don't have to worry about missing potential dates when there aren't any planned at present !

    You’ve just had a massive box ticked with that!! They say they go off OOM but if your file is ready and completed surely they’re going to go with you over someone with a lower OOM but file isn’t completed.

    Fair play!! Keep the fitness up, no body knows when the call is coming so be prepared

    I just got news that my vetting is complete however my medical and fitness is still pending. Hopefully they kick off in January.

    Does anyone know what the story is with the 600 recruits promised in the budget? Does that mean they have to hire 600 garda next year or is that just available funds?

    Have you not completed your pct or medical? My replies from HR didn't seem to pleasing that my vetting could be completed without this. What year are you from?

    No I haven't done my PCT or medical yet. They should be able to tell you the status of your vetting as this is seperate.

    I'm planning on applying in the next recruitment phase (hopefully 2021!!). Just for a bit of background, I am 24, female, just done with my college degree. Working away self-employed the last few years.

    I didn't do another language in my leaving cert years ago - just Irish and English. will this be an issue? thought I read somewhere a second language is required but I'm a bit confused

    Does anyone know?
