Anyone know of people failing the medical for having certain conditions or being on certain medications?

jcoyne22 · 27-11-2023 10:35PM

Seen a post the Minister for Justice said that there is a intake in December. Would this be right as from past campaigns it was February when the next intakes were around the same time this year?

Ed93 · 29-11-2023 02:25PM

Hi,

I am thinking of joining the garda next year recruitment. I am 34 years old and currently working in HSE. I've been in the healthcare for more than 11 years i would like to change career. The only issue that is holding me back is the pay for 33 weeks €184 while in garda college. How will my family survive for 33 weeks, with €184 a week. House, bills and food. My wife and I is surviving because we're both working together. Has anyone been in this situation? I would like to know how to manage around it.

FrankC21 · 29-11-2023 07:20PM

Im also would like to know for candidate that have family. Will we get stationed nearby. And also how will my family survive 33 weeks with only €185 per week.

It’s since increase to 305 Euro a week as per budget 2023. Still probably not enough to support a family, but it a lot better then heading to do a third level conversion course for a year and possibly losing 305 euro a week.

I think they sometimes make provisions to be station within communing distance of you home if you have dependants , but nothing is guaranteed. A lot of recruits seem to be stationed near the Dublin metropolitan region.

Skipduke · 29-11-2023 07:47PM

Unless you have children or some huge pull expect to go to Dublin

FrankC21 · 29-11-2023 08:35PM

Hi,

Thanks that 33 weeks, do we have to be in garda college monday to sunday?

And i am based in drogheda at the moment.

AFAIK it’s Monday to Friday ,9-5 . It’s a bit different to normal colleges , I think there is a curfew where you need to be back in you room. I’m not sure do you need to be back on Sunday night or Monday mornings. I think they used to let people with kids home on Wednesday night and back on Thursday morning.

Id say your in a good location as you would probably be in commuting distance for a Dublin Station.

FrankC21 · 29-11-2023 11:08PM

Ah ye, I've been commuting already to dublin and back. 5.30am in the morning 🤣😂 and finish shift at 8pm.

runnerboy · 30-11-2023 07:21PM

Have you far to travel?

I think I was done by about two o clock.

I would recommend emailing them, telling them the reason and asking if they can put you in one of the earlier groups - I'm sure they'd accommodate you as much as they can

Grace259 · 05-12-2023 09:31AM

Anyone know how long it takes for the medical to come back, and do they contact you through email or how does it work?

WestEire00 · 05-12-2023 11:41AM

They also sometimes tell you at the end of the medical if you pass just depends on where it was done and who is doing it 👍. Seen post from last campaign that some did get notice and some didn't. Doesn't make much odd i think as they still processed. Hope it helps.

Grace259 · 05-12-2023 12:39PM

Anyone know of any reasons to fail it?

Ciano1997 · 16-12-2023 12:45AM

Hey guys,
