    I'm in the same boat..... We gave it a try, I think 20000 out of 25000 is a bit harsh to drop based on one test

    Been honest I don't think it's really hit me. So they have to get 5000 down to 300 with 3 more stages with PAS then Background, Medical and Fitness test with AGS. So they will cull batch 1 down to about 3500 then batch 1 of that group down to 2000 will they really interview 2000 people?

    Maybe cull 5000 down to 2000 with the next test, then 2000 down to 1000 with the assessment center interview 1000 people pass on around 600 too AGS so they'll have a panel of 600 for the 300 jobs.

    IMO I don't think I was given a fair chance at all such a serious cull in numbers in the first test.

    How many Reserves made it into the next round?

    What I was saying was that the people in band 1 have that certain timeframe to complete stage 2. If not completed in that timeframe, your out of the game and the top from band 2 will be called to make the stage 2 process a 5000 person total.

    From this 5000, they would take the top to progress to stage 3

    Yes that's been one of the biggest think with this recuirtment we have been all kept in the dark about numbers and amount of people going forwarded ...... Clearly they could outline each stage step by step

    Ye but out of 25000 people I'm sure the top 5000 are serious about the job, it would be much better if they outlined excalty what is going to happen instead of leaving people hanging

    I'm not surprised a lot of people here are in Band 1. Ye all seem to be very enthusiastic about a career with the Gardai and this shows in the results we have received.

    I'm in Band 1 - between 4000 and 4300. I don't want to name my exact score as I'm private about such things.

    Anyway, congrats to all.

    p.s. In my opinion getting through the tests is about meeting their requirements, the interview is the game changer.
    But If I'm mistaken please feel free to correct me.

    Again, well done all!

    I just got my text two mins ago and found out that I'm in band 2, placed 5230. (Much better than I'd expected).

    For anyone trying to predict that results being issued late is a sign of Band1, think again! Results have been sent out randomly all day with unsuccessful, band3, band2 and band1 results.

    Best of luck to anyone still waiting, and HUGE congrats to those of you who did really well.
