    If you ring the GR office they may tell you the intake dates for next year. There is an intake this week, or so I'm told, and I believe it is the last class for 2013.

    You will be grand . Do your research and keep calm. Be honest with them and take your time answering the questions. Dont waffle keep it short and to the point.

    Doesnt sound bad, but my nerves will get the better of me I'd say :/ I'm not normally a nervous person. Do they ask ya bout "conflict" strengths, or nythn bout da reserve! How long were u in there? :(

    Honestly dont worry its really not bad there not out to get catch u out , right this is what i got asked well what i can remember ,community work and my role, conflict resolution , dealing with challenges, teamworking and what would i bring to the Garda R?
    also know about the training involed and would you ever like to join as a full time member , i was in for about 30 mins . but you may get out in 20 depends on what they ask .Hope this is of help to you.
