Garda Siochana Recruitment 2024

Not sure social media could really be checked.
There are still laws that are in effect such as certain freedoms of speech and expression so denying you on that basis would open up a lot of legal issues both sides of that coin

I rang today and asked what stage is my vetting at and they said it’s “suitability checks”. Any idea what that means?

They also asked me had I had my station interview yet (I didn’t) she said that’s all part of the suitability and vetting

I rang too and asked the same question, got the same answer

Article about offers going out without the vetting process being completed

Can you send public jobs the email you got from the examination board saying they can’t locate your results?

This is a different article

Yes I have already sent them the email a few days ago and still waiting for them to reply.Like here we are gardai are leaving and retiring, and I'm doing my level best to secure a place.I already work for a state company so that should make it easier.

strange question to ask but when you’re doing the obstacle course, is there a few people doing it at once or is it one at a time? Because I feel like that would be nerve wracking lol

Anyone hear anything back on vetting from batch 4?

nope batch 4 here to.
I have heard they continue sending out invites to the December intake up until 3 days from the start date so fingers crossed batch 4 hears something.

With the fitness test, do they tell you if you pass each stage as you go along? Or leave it all to the end when it’s all completed? Like if you fail the bleep test will they still make you go ahead with push ups etc and then tell you at the end? 

FYI I rang to day for an update on my application, was told I had no form b submitted. I was batch 2 I submitted it last July and got confirmation they got it by email and they said my vetting had commenced (I have all other stages complete). Then in August they emailed me saying they didn't have it so I submitted it again and also rang and was told by the lady on the phone it was in front of her and she had added it to my physical file and my vetting was underway, only to be told today when I rang they never had it. If I didn't ring today I wouldn't have even known. So this is a heads up for everyone to make sure they are working on your vetting or you'll be like me having wasted 4 months of time.

Hi folks, batch 2 here, just got my invitation to 16th December intake 👍process is ticking, just very very slow I suppose.

When did you do your medical or PCT fitness test?

For anyone who got invited for December without a station interview chances are your local station will call you for an interview very soon. Thought I wouldn't be doing one so close but did mine during the week.
