    Lads had my medical on the 30th of July in limerick, 3 weeks tomorrow! I'm sure I past it but I'm worried because it's being 3 weeks now without hearing anything. When did you do your medicals?

    I had my medical on the 30th and got a call on the 12th... Check your junk or spam folders in your email. There's no way they wouldn't even give a rejection email.

    Mine took only two weeks and then it was two weeks notice before starting in Portlaois but I think Dublin moved quicker than the rest
