Garda Reserve Recruitment 2024

Well, with the interview- just be able to give examples of the competencies. have two examples for each one. Take your time, clarify anything you are unsure of. Have a glass of water at hand. The interview board are very friendly and make the experience welcoming. So practice what you want to say about each competency, and again if you are unsure what the question is , just ask and get clarity- that's part of good communication. All the best.

My oom is 667 just wondering when do you lads think I'll be lucky enough to get my interview?

Best of luck to all in the competition

Well, its from AGS. The email is for the vetting and for booking a medical -

(hrpd.gardatrainee.info@garda.ie)

Stage 3 is done by AGS. They send you the options of where you want to do the medical ( different medical centres

around the country) , you make the booking yourself. I hope this helps.

Hello Popsmoke,I am in the same boat as jo pax,just confused,passed the interview,public jobs.ie sent me the email with my OOM and a link to the on line vetting which I completed.I never got a link for the medical from AGS,did you get the link for the vetting from public jobs or from AGS?I am after checking the email again from public jobs, definitely no link to book the medical,don't know if it's an oversight.I got a password protected file after I completed the vetting which I can't open because I don't know what the password is supposed to be!

I emailed the above address you gave,no reply,just worried I will miss the window to book the medical after coming this far,anyone else in the same position as me, terrible to say no one will reply to the emails I sent,so much for help with any queries.

I think looks like they are doing the Medicals in batches like they do in the normal Garda recruitment by the oom number , maybe thats why only certain amount of medical emails were sent out .

You might want to ring public jobs and look for the competition manager ( her name is at the bottom of some of the original public jobs emails) this might get you an answer. All the best.

Also did anyone get a zip file of their vetting form sent to them when they completed their form,I can't open it,it's looking for a password,tried my candidate ID number but that's not it ,any ideas?

I got sorted in the end for the medical,thanks for the help,much appreciated,good luck with your medical👍

To answer part of your question from an anecdotal point of view, we had a reserve on our unit and he NEVER did any station based work. In fact I can't think of much in the station a reserve would be useful for. He was always out in the car or on the beat with us

good to know

I believe you'll have to take atleast a couple weeks off to attend Templemore

I don't believe your time in Templemore is paid, but maybe I'm wrong.

no, I'm on Friday.

I’m wed too
