    "Recruitment" and "intake" are, to my mind, two different things. But still, good to hear!

    Anyone contacted this TD to clarify?? I don't want to be so pessimistic but I won't believe it until it is announced. And like someone else just posted an intake and recruitment drive are two different things..would be great if it was both!

    There's always one.....negatitivity is rampant on here
    She'd hardly post it on her own website and go to papers with it if it wasnt true.
    Why would they hold another recruitment campaign with all those in the system and also her main concern is to the development of the area and bringing business to Tipperary.

    they always say medicals last 6 months but last years intake some of them were 8 months and some a year so i take it they'll manage with what they have to get in.....last year they had to rush through a group so god only knows what they'll do with regard to medicals
    official stance is they last 6 months (ish)

    Well god only knows what will happen. There are so many of us in the system who have passed everything that not all of us are going to get in if they decide to have an intake in August. Also if it does happen I wonder how they will decide who gets to go in first!

    It is supposed to go my the order of merit system from exams, then it goes to first checks complete then as they come in it goes back to order of merit...supposedly.....then again people from batch 3 went in last May

    That is why I said it! It's supposed to be in order of merit but I was one of the 1st few from batch 2! Suppose we will just have to wait and see. Good luck anyway!

    I wonder has anyone been onto Hq about it ? They probably havent heard anything yet. With regard to whos in first, I would have thought those waiting the longest would be next in.

    I haven't called HR because they will tell you the same thing that they do all the time! That they don't know and not to believe anything until an official statement has been made! I would have thought at this stage that it's who is waiting the longest gets in first!

    Minister for Justice Dermot Ahern says recruitment in the Gardaí will re-start before the end of the year.

    Ahern made the comments following a meeting with the Garda Commissioner at a passing out parade for new recruits in Templemore this morning.

    Meanwhile, it has been confirmed that GRA leadership is being called to a meeting with Commissioner Fachtna Murphy tomorrow to discuss their criticism of the Government during their annual conference in Limerick earlier this week.

    Im not that surprised, I remember Ahern said he'd lift the ban towards the end of 2010 last year in an interview with the Irish MOS. Still good to hear it now! Positive news.

    I'd say they will begin the process in November and begin the training in February.

    Great News :D
