It doesn't give any email address for queries like that persons. So in other words if you read it yourself instead instead you would be better than posting comments that is no help to anyone what so ever. That's the problem here to many being rude instead of helpful.

Pretty sure publicjobs website also states that they can be emailed at info@publicjobs.ie. the staff are excellent at getting back to people just make sure you provide a contact number

In fairness it's amazed me the amount of people on boards and in 'real life' that's confused by it. I think people are more shocked that LCA and Foundation Irish has been dropped more than anything else.

Anyone else think these organisations should be opened whilst recruitment is on going? Would stop a back log of emails and phone calls.

I'm 43 and have done triathlons and can wrestle with the best of them and I have built up a bank of wisdom with age and experience. Anyone else feel that age should not be an issue? Btw - good luck to all aspiring wo(men) in blue we need good people out there on our streets
