An Garda Síochána Recruitment 2025

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.

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.

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….

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.

Edsjd227 any word back from the TD's ?

Anyone get any offers recently.

Couldn’t agree more, the worst is really not having any updates so we can plan ahead.

Does your family have any history outside of ireland? It seems to me that those that only have family in Ireland are favoured.

Had to send extra medical clarification which will be ok. Sent everything 3 weeks ago and haven’t heard back.

Do Garda Medical usually confirm you’re cleared, or is no news generally good news??

My son got a conditional offer for the July intake today. So I suppose that means he could be failed yet. For him every stage was really quick with the only delay in the process when he was given time to loose a big chunk of weight (which he obviously did). He's very happy. Fingers crossed on the vetting.

has anyone from October 25 campaign or May 26 campaign received offers?

The competition that was held in late 2025.

Yes. I am Feb 2025. Still waiting to hear what the story is.

Has anyone requested the contact info for the third party undertaking the vetting? See if its possible to speak to them directly and see what the process is or why its taking so long.

@Darragh121 when did you send over your vetting? I sent mine on the 12th Feb, that is all that is outstanding.
