You obviously didn't just join boards to post about this and you are hiding behind another ID. To quote you " anyone with a brain knows it 100%"
Why not come out???

I'm not attacking anyone, all I'm saying is that the post about 20 Fire officers' sons or daughters getting the job was complete rubbish!

Nor am I defending anyone, obviously people are going to try and get their sons/daughters a job, wouldn't you????

Obviously their efforts were unsuccessful, certainly to the extent that was posted here.

Of course I would try and get my son / daughter a job. I disagree that they were unsuccessful, Iv been given several names of successful candidates who all have connections in the Dfb/council.

I'd be more concerned about the confined conpetition than the ESCO comp in terms of relatives getting jobs etc...

Anybody heard anything

DFB were meeting with HR today.

Oh really . So should we expect to hear about a medical this aside of Christmas . Thank you for your help

I was in the top 15 :-) . Il just sit patiently and hope I hear something soonish :-D

Any idea on when the second class would be going in

Ok . Thanks a lot for your help . If you hear anything else regarding Medicals please post . Appreciated

hi guys, i applied and got as far as interview unfortunately wasn sucessful, just wondered if anyone who was successful would they mind posting there age? the reason i ask is i intend to apply next time but i imagine that'll be at the very least 12 months away.. ill be pushing 30 at that stage and wonder if time is against me/ would my age have a negative affect on my application?

I was successful (top 10) and I'm 30.

Haven't heard anything for a couple of weeks but I think we can expect to hear in the next week or so

Honestly, I don't know. I'd like to think we will have the physical and medical done this side of Christmas but if not sure a few more weeks won't hurt. Did you send back the acceptance letter?

When were the acceptance forms sent out

Mine was dated the 19 November. I received it on the 22 November. It was just a simple form that was to be signed in one of two places "accept" or "decline"

The new city manager has undertaken some restructuring of the DFB and it's management over the past few weeks. I'm led to believe that this has caused a delay in this process.

Sf191, I think somebody is pulling your chain because nobody gets acceptance letters until medicals, fitness assessments, Garda vetting and other background checks are completed. Only when these have been completed will you be offered a position. Regarding age people 40+ have been employed as firefighters in DFB in the last 10 or so years so david-d you have plenty of time left.

The first 10 have already accepted job offers so I don't know what you're on about.

Well it seems I was mistaken if 10 have already received letters regarding provisional offers of employment but you don't have to be rude because you do know "what I was on about".

Myself and close family members have successfully gone through this process so I think I have an idea how it works. And I also know of two people who are in the ten but had not heard that they got their letters.

I just came on here to offer a little bit of encouragement to those whose dream is to become firefighters but that was a mistake. I'm out.
