Garda Recruitment 2022/2023

@AshleyOH23 the local inspector rang me last week . They sent back my application to check my civil status , he told me he would ring them before he sent it back to check if there was anything else and he never came back to me so just waiting now again. It's to late for me to go in Feb now so hopefully may

Hi All,

I'm in Batch 5 and I met with the Sergeant this day last week and I haven't heard anything else. I was hoping to get going in the February intake. Does anyone know if it's too late for that intake or is anyone in a similar situation?

I am batch 4 have had my meeting with the sergeant 2 weeks ago and am still waiting myself. Not sure about the intake situation but it’s cutting very close.

Hi,

Im in batch 8 and done interview recently. Anyone in batch 7 how long were yee waiting for results?

Setting up a WhatsApp group for anyone in Batch 7 - private message your number to be added.

Yep you can add me

Injured myself a week before my fitness and physically can’t run on my ankle. Would there usually be any problems with deferring the fitness test

Sent an email and it’s been noted. Will be offered one in the next batch thank god

Just received my info pack now for February 20th

For those starting on the 20th-

At the risk of sounding more inept than normal "dress professionally" means wear a suit right?

For those starting the 20th of Feb

Anybody staying in the college on the Sunday the 19th ?

After submitting form B, is it fitness next or medical? anyone any idea how long after form b submission u get invited to the next stage? TIA

Ya this is what happened to me but I’m down to 27.4 in my bmi now and looking to get it assessed fairly soon. So hopefully I’ll be in the May intake.

Guys for people who have gotten the email for Feb in take does it say what money is needed to buy things up there and what is needed ?

Anyone receiving last minute invitations for the 20th this week at all or is that all passed? Want to know if I should just give up hope for this intake.

Just got a last minute call today for this Mondays intake. More than likely I’ll defer as it is too late notice for me.

I'd give up hope on them altogether if I were you. I passed all the tests and vetting twice now, both in the 2018 and 2022 competition. Been onto them multiple times this week alone and they never give an explanation on why they don't give you an invitation.

It’s all covered, just mention it’s for Garda Trainee.

I’m batch 4 myself and in the same boat as yous. Just have to wait unfortunately….

I’m batch 3 with no offer yet, it’s just a waiting game, I’ve everything done, meetings in local station and all

Vetting only starts once reports are sent back to the HQ from local stations , unfortunately because these people doing the checks are civilians then it can take a long time plus depends on people's records , the first time I applied i waited three years to he told no. I have been told by the local Sargent and inspector who I met that they both highly recommended me and they both said the same to my brother who is a guard , they also said they thought I would have been told by now if I was getting in. However it seems that when reports are sent back it can take a month if not longer before they are looked at again. That being said it is also a mystery how they pick and choose people there is clearly no organisation there. I agree it is a joke that people's lives are up ended because they don't no weather they are getting in or not. But people should leave it and carry on with there daily routine now nothing will happen again until April

The interview results are out 1 week after the interview so if you done it Ona. Friday you should get it on the following Friday

Does anyone know when stage 2 results will be out done them on 23rd of January will be 4 weeks now on Monday and heard nothing yet ?
