An Garda Síochána Recruitment 2025

Just curious did u hear anything from them before this to say vetting nearly completed,i had station interview in Oct,and ive heard nothing since,i thought this was near the end of vetting,and he was signing everything off his end

i got a conditional offer, it says my vetting is in it’s final stages and for some reason i haven’t done a station interview 🤷‍♂️

For those offered May intake what recruitment campaign did ye apply for and what was your OOM ?

They’re inviting you into the college despite your interview? Heard a few cases of this I geniunely wonder why they pick and choose who has to wait and who doesn’t

If you look back on a previous post it said there were people in training now from 10 years ago.

Filling in form b and it’s looking for original birth certificate. I do not have the actual original only the one i ordered from HSE. Will this suffice?

I second this, I got the same feeling when I was down there.

When did you apply, what has your timeline been like?

I agree, they couldn’t care less. If you expect them to do that you can convince yourself that they may be doing it though.

Since the 3 current recuritment campaigns the 24 one and the two in 25 .

Would be interesting to see how many of the candidates who applied have now dropped out because of the length of time and the lack of communication and information available to candidates.

I see there a young lad who was stationed in Dublin, 4 months after graduating from Templemore left because he could not find accommodation.

He is looking to rejoin again now as he has sourced accommodation. They said he will have to go through the whole process again.

Hi all,

Been lurking these forums for a while now, said I’d give my own experience so far
Applied in Feb 2025, replies were quick and process was fast, attended the online interview and fitness test all 3-4 months after applying, went and got laser eye surgery to satisfy Garda occupational health soon after failing my medical and got that all sorted. Submitted my Form B in July 2025 and been quiet ever since. I’ve mailed Garda HR every now and again for an update only to be told, your vetting is still outstanding.

I have had one small incident in the past for Section 4 drunk in public but it was as close to minor as possible, no fuss just too drunk to get home the night my county won an all Ireland. Struck out in court with a laugh from the charging guard and the judge. ( was advised by the guard to go to court rather than the caution given my situation )

So according to Chat GPT ( I know, desperation ) I am right where I should be involving vetting queues, that they are processing boards 21/22 now, I was board 23, is there any truth to this has anyone done their PCT in Summer last year received an offer?
Almost forgot to mention I haven’t had my station interview yet and pretty sure none of my references have been called yet either.

Any advice here would be greatly appreciated. Or if there’s any WhatsApp groups in my situation you can dm me for my number!
