Btw - good luck to all aspiring wo(men) in blue we need good people out there on our streets

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. Publicjobs.ie are shut for the weekend. Anyone else think these organisations should be opened whilst recruitment is on going? Would stop a back log of emails and phone calls.

RANDOMUSER wrote: » That number is listed along with a 01-858 number which gets you through to PAS and also the said Email address. 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

want2b wrote: » It says in the booklet for queries call 0818332333 yet you said that if that other person read the booklet they would find the email address. 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.

RANDOMUSER wrote: » So instead of reading the info book which explains everything you just won't bother and hope someone provides you the correct answer on a forum. Part of the process is being able to read from passages and be able to extract the necessary info you Require to provide the correct answer. You won't be able to ask other people online during the exam. Apologies if I come across as rude or snide but it is important to read that booklet and all other documents provided to you. You would be surprised how many people f*ck up from not listening or reading, as I've said a lready Ive been involved in many campaigns and not as a candidate

Also, if I did end up putting on the uniform, I would expect to deal with snide remarks and bad attitudes, it's not something I'd expect when asking a question on thread with mature people who are all in the same boat. What exactly are you doing on this thread if you have no questions and seem not to be able to provide any serious answers without saying something smart? If you know everything there is to know about this whole process then please, enlighten us.
RANDOMUSER wrote: » Why ask others to look for answers that you can easily find yourself. And if you think my attitude is hideous wait until you put on the uniform and deal with some of the worst in society. Also their snide remarks will be far more personal too. Its a fact that everything anyone needs to know is all contained within that info book. Some people probably haven't even read it and are depending on the boards to inform them instead of educating themselves. If people are serious about the position they will devour all available info provided by the employing authority.
JordanG990 wrote: » Thanks for the answer Pity about your hideous attitude though. Haven't seen much 'silly queries' on this thread to be honest. Some people can't understand certain aspects of it which is understandable. Think it would be better if people just answered the questions instead of throwing in their snide remarks. If you've nothing nice to say, say nothing.

However, I do think that they should allow LCA students to be accepted this time and then make it clear that they won't be accepting LCA in the next recruitment as it is quite unfair to people who have studied or are studying in the LCA course hoping for a job with AGS and being told that it is accepted only to find out that it's not. It used to be 'a student who receives a merit or distinction in the Leaving Cert Applied program is entitled to apply for AGS'. I got 93% overall, so a distinction and now I can't apply. Can someone tell me the email address for queries about this?
