Garda Recruitment- The Waiting to Apply Room

Anybody know what criteria are used for allocation of trainees?.

Searched online but can't find anything, surely it's in writing somewhere in relation to how the Commissioner should allocate trainees?.

Being from Galway, I was under the impression that if successful I'd be placed somewhere within a radius of home(i.e Mayo, Clare, Roscommon etc).
Wouldn't fancy being placed in Dublin tbh.

For the pay and the grief it wouldn't be worth the hassle.

I thought it was retired supers that were used for interviews. Even if his father isn't interviewing him I'm sure his name will be on Form B where you have to give the name of a garda who knows you!

I'm stuck on 4 out of 6 in the verbal, just can't get my head around it.

No he can't. But being Guards, he will get the fact in there that his dad is a super. And boom.....

is anyone else having massive trouble with the verbal reasoning or is it just me??

Remember the negative marking. Better to skip a question if you're not sure of the answer.

He cant just go into an interview and say my daddy is a Superintendent, he has to pass the apptitude tests with a very high mark, and also do a good interview, and then pass the physical tests, so no he is certainly not guaranteed a place. This is not the celtic tiger era anymore, i hope that finally our police intake will be of the people that are the best of the best of the best.

A buddy of mine,

Father is a super is pretty much guaranteed a place. Along with one of his cousins.

You know, I taught that the day was well and truly over in this country. Obviously not.

Nonsense.

yes thats the positive - the panel could be quite big

negative - if you have a bad day and dont score well, you could be waiting years for another crack at the job

if you look at it in a way that they are taking on 500 then there is hope. I wouldn't care if I had to wait 2 or 3 years to get in as long as I knew that I would eventually be heading for Templemore

id say there will be a handy panel. e.g it will be use soon so it dosent go stale. as far as i know it is 250-300 over two intakes this year

panels can run for years and have several thousand on it

i would imagine the 2015 and 2016 intake will be from this recruitment drive. a campaign such as this is very very pricey and they will squeeze every drop from it
