    Oh lucky you Id say you'll be kept busy with all them farmers.
    Id love to get pearse street or store street in town for the night shifts on a Friday/ Saturday night. To bad you can't do two shifts in the one weekend because Id definitely do two if I could.

    Big district to drive around :-) should be interesting

    Id like pearse street because it's the busiest so Id imagine there would always be shifts going.

    I work in Dublin but live in Mullingar.

    Could I pick Mullingar and a station near my job?

    Would make it easier I suppose to choose a station near my job!

    When you are asigned your station, it will take time to intergrte into your unit, units are A, B,C, D, E. Ten hour shifts Or what ever you can give. Also St Raphaels have an APP on the APP store for your days on and off etc etc.... It's free!

    Id imagine I wouldn't be assigned to that unit if I get pearse street, Id be just out on the beat. It sound very interesting however.
    Are you dublin based ?

    It's ridiculous, it better not be major changes I don't mind a different colour hat but a full change would be a joke.
