Garda Recruitment 2022/2023

Yeah it’s been a full year now. Don’t know what the hold up is. The lack of communication from them is a disgrace.

Yeah waiting on a family checks who lives outside the country 🙄

Have offers been put out today for January intake?

Can anyone advise on the types of medications/illnesses that have caused them issues in the medical stage?

I don’t think the batch number or order of merit has anything to do with it. If it did I would have had an offer in the first group to Tempelmore last year! Seems to come back to vetting but I can’t see how mine would take so long and my local Garda station have said the same. I have asked for my file to be checked to see if it’s misplaced or sitting on someone’s desk somewhere but sure they won’t tell you a thing.

Hi

does anyone know when the next intake is

That’s not an explanation after 14 months though when majority of my family bar one all live in the same county and never abroad. My local station told me they had them all checked out too so they don’t know what the hold up is.

Has anyone who has been offered a place for the January intake received the letter and booklet from the Garda college yet ?

In the exact same boat as yourself. I contacted Garda HR a couple times over the past month. First time the person just said it’s fairly normal , second time I got one of the sound ones , who said it was weird it’s taken that long. From my understanding they send your local station the request and details to interview you. I’m assuming that this is often buried with higher priority stuff.

The person on the phone basically told me to go my local Garda station or call them and basically act kind of confused and just tell them the story, but not to let them know Garda HR told you to go to them.

I rang my local station and told them I’m a candidate to become a Garda Trainee. That I’ve passed the medical (Garda HR told me on the phone when I asked) , passed PCT and am was wondering if there was supposed to be an interview with the a sergeant, as I was told I would be contacted after passing the PCT.

They were fairly helpful and left a note for the Sargent. Whether they get back to me now is another thing, haha ( Called 2 days ago). If they don’t call back in 2 weeks I might drop them an email as I know the Gardai are a paper driven organisation.

I submitted mine 5 weeks ago today and still haven't heard anything. Called Appointments last week and they told me they are waiting on one or two suitability checks

No, nothing yet.

If anyone got an offer for January intake please let me know so I can invite you to our whatsapp group.

Anyone from this campaign still waiting to hear back? Is there any WhatsApp groups going I could get added to 😊 I'd love to chat with someone also who has had an offer an been there and can provide some information on what it's been like so far 😅

It's actually easy enough just rest now to friday and take plenty water. After the running. Just don't try be a hero and set the pace just keep with the flow and keep to the beeps don't go all guns blazing thinking ul sprint from start but if you pass beep it should be in the bag. Just a side note to you all if you pass fitness you do drugs test and that can go back up to 6 months so if you were on any prescription medication try remember cause they ask you incase it shows up

Give them a ring and or email. The vetting is the slowest part and it's different for everyone I had everything complete as did quite a few other and were hoping for Jan but my vetting still no done and they not exactly fast at there job. There is room for a overhaul on this as there is no communication and they leave everyone in limbo which is not fair some people even waiting years
