An Garda Síochána Recruitment 2025

Its amazing they can get anybody through the gate at Templemore if they are going that deeply into the vetting. Surely it should be limited to the past 5 years from the date the application was submitted and to people alive and currently residing in the state.

What relevance has an uncle who emigrated to New Zealand 20 years ago and still lives there to a new garda applicant?

Also it must be very upsetting for the relative in question and to the entire family to have some minor transgression that happened 20 years ago being dragged back up and possibly impacting whether the new applicant becomes a garda or not.

Bureaucracy gone mad - but new applicants better get used to it because that's how this organisation works - it sure does love its paperwork and paperwork handling skills are in more regard than anything else - like getting criminals off the streets.

on the form it’s says to forward an explanation and supporting documentation. If info is unknown. Did you send in anything for this?? Thanks

Anyone receive any offers in the last few days?

yes it was psychiatry. Any record of anxiety anti depressants even adhd meds and you’re called up for a psych evaluation… protocol @TheRealChaCha

About that alright....mine was a bit longer tho

Should I have gotten results back from my substance abuse test?

Did my test in Jan, didn’t get anything back. I’m not concerned as I know I will have passed, but just wondering if I should have heard.

No not yet, I got My Form B back. For mention surname of my relatives even though they never used their surname whole life in india surname is not legal mandatory. Because in india we go by caste .I don't know will I get my form back again or they will refuse my application?

I never heard anything after I done the test, the next thing I heard from them after that was booking in for the medical.

got asked for a station interview which I haven’t done yet

was it long after the station interview you got an offer?

I did my station interview this month & I also know they went out for my references this month so I don't know what it all means as in I wonder when an offer will come through!?

Hi All, I am thinking of applying through the new campaign. I am interested to know, in relation to people with young children, spouse and mortgage what is the situation regarding the station you are assigned to? If you get through to Templemore can you request to be placed in a station near home? For example if you are in the West can you request that you are not placed in Dublin or Cork? I really want to give it my all and go for it but I wouldn't be able to afford rent in another county whilst paying my mortgage. I don't mind driving an hour or so away from home but anything further would mean renting. Also, when do you find out your station, is it after Templemore? I know they need to place people in certain areas but just curious as to whether they take people's situations onboard given that the age limit has been raised, more people in a similar situation to me would be applying.

My references were contacted around 2/3 weeks ago but still no word

I had my station interview in October and still waiting

Who told you that lad offers are sent out roughly 6 weeks after each intake has started?

Only thing that seems certain, judging from people posting on the forum, is that there is no certainty and its different for everyone based on individual circumstances.
