For stage 1 for maths do they give u 20 secs per question for it do u no your anyone no.garda i.p is good more cheaper to buy the practice exams of it 120 rather an career services 189.

I’m not sure the time on the questions but the way I look at it you’ll answer some quick

Ring hrm just to be sure. It use to be that you could apply if you are 35 and 364days of age basically. It could very easily be a mistake. Just ring them and email them to confirm it.

Contacted HRM. No luck, I'm too old. Good luck to everyone who is applying.

Hi all

what’s the annual leave situation in the garda college as I would be booking a holiday for 2 weeks in late November/early December?

i know it says 2 weeks. Is that just a random 2 weeks that they decide?

That was done away with years ago.

I bought the GardaIP book too and bought their course afterwards. I rang the PAS yesterday. They said the Info booklet only has 3 questions on it!

save, save, save

I turned 36 3 months ago. So I've applied regardless, simply because 1. It's highly discriminatory, 2. I'm perfectly fit and a fitness test should replace age limit, 3. It's highly discriminatory 🤷‍♀️.

So I've written to the minister for justice, the garda college, the minister for education, and a local fianna fail TD to push for change.

I also feel given the pandemic the age limit should be increased by at least 2 years or the time it took to begin a new recruitment drive, it's been years. The opportunity for many who have wanted this a long time, simply wasn't there. This is now shattering the career dreams of a lot of people, many of which could make excellent additions to the force. And we all know how the pandemic has pushed people to career changes they never got the chance to do.

Even regardless of that, age simply cannot be a deciding factor to to good policing ability. In fact it can only benefit, it brings emotional maturity and life experience, these are invaluable skills for a job such as the Gardaí 👌. I personally believe there are many physically fit, and sound minded 35-40+ year old's who could make fantastic Gardaí, so I will be campaigning for change to the age requirements to be replaced by a physical competency test. I'm praying I get into the college, I have never wanted anything else. 🤞
