Would anyone have an idea time wise of when you hear from Garda Siochana when you put in your application, and it’s after the closing date.. to know if you have been accepted to stage 1. Or how do they contact you to let you know?
thank you

Cheers man. I hope you get called up for an intake soon, you've been very helpful to the rest of us throughout this process.
So basically the prep courses for this were not relevant? I've got one and have been going through it for days.
If you have any information at all I.e name, city they were born, you maybe able to get information from GROResearchRoom@welfare.ie. they can search births, deaths and marriages. Brilliant service by email. Very quick and successful. They will charge for a copy of what they find. I used it for many relations and found it very good. Won't solve all your problems but worth a shot!
Hi all,I printed out the vetting form today and they want so much information in a week which is impossible. For example I have alot of uncles and aunts I don't talk too,how can I ask them for information, also have deceased family members,I don't even know where to start.Any advice would be very welcome.My dad's side of the family,I don't even know where they live.
It involves an eye test and hearing test done with a nurse, takes your height and weight too from what I can remember. Urine sample as well.
After this you go to a doctor, does a very quick physical exam, checked my stomach area, asked me to squat, touch my nose with eyes closed, few other bits and then asked me a load of yes/no questions about medical history etc.
Be grand...
Has anyone done the medical yet.I have my medical coming up and would like to know what's involved as I have white coat syndrome bad exper when I was a child and anytime I enter a medical area my blood pressure rises a little.
not sure if it is public jobs that can help you.. they just set up and run the campaign to a certain point, but as far as I know it’s the Garda HR that take it over once you have completed all sections and passed them and you are waiting on your vetting to clear.
Batch 4 2024 campaign, passed everything and vetting in since September 2024,was called about December and March intake asking would i go down if vetting clears,i said yes both times but didn't receive official offer,is many people waiting from batches 1-4 for offers still? I'm hearing people getting offers within 3-4weeks after handing vetting in so im beginning to think there might be something wrong with my vetting which i dont think there should be 🤔
Public jobs eally need to reply to emails.I know their up the walls but when you send a email you expect to get some sort of reply from them.Im batch 6 and due o lack of communication I'm considering just withdrawn from the process.
hello
Did many people receive a call or email about the June intake.
Still waiting for it the past 6 months
I was in Batch 1. PCT in late June, medical 1st week of July. No offer until late February 2025 for March intake. Just to give you some type of idea of a timeline.
I know of a few more from Batch 1 with similar dates too.
Did you have your local interview with the Sergeant/Inspector yet?
I’m well prepared for the long road 😂 not my first rodeo with vetting for certain positions but by god some sort of feedback would be appreciated regarding other parts of the process. I get it they can’t tell us a time frame for vetting due to whatever unknown/known factors but the likes of medicals etc they should give feedback regardless if it’s positive or not.
They may or may not let you know if you have passed the medical so i would call HR and they should help.
Im batch 2 with medical complete and i still have heard nothing since so just be prepared for the long road.
Hi all, just wanted to ask if anyone from batch 6 has heard anything. I passed the pct in February, had my medical 10 days later and have yet to hear from Garda recruitment. My OOM was 49 after the interview so I was hopeful to hear something sooner rather than later but I guess OOM doesn’t mean anything once we reach the vetting phase. Thanks in advance.
Hi. Mine took about 30 mins. Was asked questions about my application. Was asked why I want to become a member? And what good skills I possess. And then a general chat about my working history and any real life scenarios Iv been through.
Hi Can you please tell me a bit more about the interview. It's a formal interview and how long it is please
thank u
Not sure about the holidays except you get 29 Holiday days per year, Roster for new Garda Trainees is 4 Days on 4 days off with Nights/Days included.
Hi , anyone knows what the holidays around christmas and new year when we join the training ? also what are my schedule during training at the posted station ? last question how far I will be after the garda training ? thank you
you can email them and ask for an appeal. I don’t know if you’re 100 percent guarantee it. But it’s worth a try. The beep test is 5.6 now so if you’re running a lot I say you’ll be grand. A lot of younger people are finding it a lot easier then the regional layout.
have my PCT test tomorrow, failed it a few weeks ago at the higher standard, got 4.4 and found it very tough. Have been running since and meeting the distance within the time. Hoping it will go well. The anxiety for tomorrow is killing me. Does anyone know if you fail tomorrow and this is to your second go, do you get a third and final?
just a question, but l does anyone know that passing rate for any of the stage 1 testing?
I think it's around 4 to 6 weeks if memory serves me well. An order of merit will be published. Depending on your ranking, will determine how long the wait would be, to be called for the competency based interview next.
Hey. I'm wondering for anyone that did the assessment stage one last year, how long before publicjobs got back to you with results? Thanks!
I’m in my 20s and I’m waiting since 2023, so I don’t think it’s an age thing, more rather to do with your individual vetting/ family members abroad, etc
I think there is a bit to much reading into the perceived delays to vetting. It can be a bit of lottery. I'm in my mid thirties and married. Once you have a spouse or partner the amount of vetting can more than double with the amount of people to be background checked. If someone is much younger chances are they will be single and also if someone comes from a small family, chances are their vetting will clear quicker.
….
I am in older group too. You would think they would take us quicker as this is the new age limit and possibly our only time to apply.
47
Do you mind me asking what sort of age category you’re in ?
