He told me that everything was going well with my vetting and that it wouldn't take long for it to be cleared. Now 2 months have passed and I have heard absolutely nothing from HR.

Waiting years for things to happen is part of the job 😅 get used to it.

Conn007 · 17-06-2026 01:37PM

I don't mind how long what takes when we get the job, but we haven't got anything now

Hi everyone,

Just wondering if anyone here was asked by the Garda medical team to provide additional medical information (for example, a hearing test, eye test, blood pressure report, etc.)

If so, how long did it take for them to review the new information and get back to you?

I was asked to submit a second audiology report. Both the audiologist and my GP stated that my hearing is within normal limits, and I have already sent all the requested documentation.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? Did the Garda medical team accept the additional hearing report, or were you asked for anything else afterwards?
Find bellow my hearing test, do you think that will be grand?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, I had to submit an additional eye test from my own opticians which she passed me . I sent it off on the 6th of May and on the 19th they emailed me back saying the medical was passed. So not really a long wait .

i sent it off mine on the 5th June so maybe tomorrow or Friday they get back to me… fingers crossed. Thanks and good luck on whatever is next….

if it’s any consolation i got 45/50 on average for the interview, have held the same job for 5 years, no convictions apart from 2 penalty points. Never done anything wrong nor has my family members and still waiting. I honestly could not tell you what or why it’s taking so long and I would nearly withdraw my application so I can focus on going back to college.

Personally I think they don’t have enough space in the college or lack of funding. That’s all I can think of, no idea what the yearly budget is for Garda recruits. The should of used 3 or 4 million of the Childrens Hospital budget to make the college bigger, would be a better use of taxpayer money instead of spending it on the worlds most expensive hospital that half of it has to be redone anyways due to cutting corners and using cheap material that doesn’t even meet the minimum requirements.

It comes down to luck. I think they will soon start contacting people for the July intake, from what I know some people dont have a station interview so that may be your case.

If I dont receive an offer for this intake I will stop worrying about it and move on with my life. This was easily the worst recruitment process I have ever heard of/experienced in my life.

How long have you been waiting?

Paddy 42 · 18-06-2026 03:19PM

Edsjd227 any word back from the TD's ?

this whole process puts you in the most stupid life position possible, cannot plan ahead, cannot move abroad, cannot take a big gamble like going back to college. You can’t really chance anything.

MrJonsb25 · 19-06-2026 01:25PM

Anyone get any offers recently.
