Garda Recruitment July Intake (2019)

Hoopy1888 · 15-04-2019 1:45pm #1

So, that's another Intake a few of us missed out on from past campaigns.

From 2017 myself and was at ''Awaiting Sign Off''

HRM have said that there should be 2 or 3 more intakes this years and when I asked him when it the next was, his answer was between June and August but no date set yet, so lets call it July for now.

All the best to everyone and here's hoping we get good news in roughly 8/10 weeks or so time

Gadaves · 15-04-2019 2:39pm

Pretty sure that there are only two more intakes this year, July and December.

Why did your vetting take so long, I'm waiting for mine aswell.

I'm just going by what your man said on the phone.

Family overseas as far as I know. Took sooo long to come back. It took the vetting nearly a year and a half to clear.

Bigred88 · 15-04-2019 3:11pm

I am “still awaiting a decision from senior management.”
This vetting is a pain in the b***ox.
I don’t know how it takes over 4 months to review a file and say yes or no .

Smallboy · 15-04-2019 3:23pm

Hi friends, I'm from the 2018 campaign. Not waiting as long as you guys, finished my Medical in March and now awaiting vetting.

It's weird, I haven't met my Super or Sergeant yet! I asked HR about it and they said since of where I'm from in Dublin, the station is really busy!

bottar1 · 15-04-2019 3:33pm

I deferred offer I received for April to finish college course, hoping to get July intake!

My daughter met the sergeant last week and said she will meet super in a week or so, she’s in Dublin too. He told her that her vetting is back. She was also in 2016 campaign and was living in cabra then and that took a lot longer as it’s a very busy station, it took over 2 months

Thank you! Did your daughter reach out for guidance by HR or kinda sit and wait? I'm unsure on how to proceed. It's been almost a month since I've heard and honestly, I may be being impatient as there's people here waiting years!

She rang HR a couple of times and they told her to ring the station and then it started moving. Maybe give HR a call and suggest you do that, I wouldn’t ring the station unless they have said it’s ok

Have you much family overseas? I just have my sister in Canada and I hope she won't hold me up too long. She's moving home and of the month as well maybe I should tell them that.

minionpower · 15-04-2019 10:21pm

I'm from the 2017 campaign which vetting came back 6-8 weeks ago so waiting to get signed off.
Never lived outside Ireland

I think this is crazy and seen different campaigns getting offers first

i was placed 78 on the order of merit.

Interview - 25th September 2017
vetting started - 26th January 2018
Medical - 05th February 2018
PCT - 23rd June 2018

In the Same boat as you. Seeing 2018 lads who still had vetting outstanding while we as 2017 ''awaiting sign off'' and seeing them get offers is frustrating alright but look July looks a strong possibility now and not that long away.

Conboy6 · 18-04-2019 2:34pm

Same boat as most , from 2017 campaign and been waiting sign off from senior management since October/November. Ringing up every week for an update and fobbed off with the same excuse. I’ll give them a break for a couple of weeks and start annoying them again

I think he doesn't have the correct program to use it. If he's opening the PDF in google chrome it won't work, you have to open it in adobe I think, I can't view my Form 1 in google drive for example, because it's a special form, its not a normal PDF.

Letsdoit · 23-04-2019 9:23am

Hello I am waiting sign off since Nov and I am from June 2017. I didnt get a spot for April and hopefully will for July but who knows. Is there a point in emailing HRM now or for the next few weeks? As in will you be told your file is signed off or is it a case where they will just say waiting sign off they just send the offer email the weeks before the July intake.

No harm in e-mailing or calling to check up on it.

Stickynote10 · 23-04-2019 1:16pm

Hi All, have a quick one for ye, ye might be able to help me! I received a health form from HRM last week and have to send it back this week which I’ve already done! I’m wondering how long are you waiting to get you date for the physical test?

About 10 days I think, it’s different for everyone though, would be so much easier if there was a set timescale

Oh right ok I see, ya it would at least then you wouldn’t be constantly wondering when they will contact! The waiting is a killer hope to god I’ll be in before the year is out

Ammsher · 23-04-2019 8:27pm

Go on to Garda Facebook now current students giving live feedback

Hoopy1888 · 23-04-2019 11:00pm

I’m in the same boat . You’ll just get the same generic response from HR stating “your file is awaiting decision from senior management “

I was waiting about 2 months, some people had to wait longer, some considerably less. Just be prepared.

Thanks very much! I checked with them today and they said waiting on dates to be approved for next PCT’s I really hope it’s not too long! Haven’t heard from my sergeant yet either

Just got email from HRM ; my pct for next Friday is cancelled due to the facility not been available. Hopefully they get me booked in again soon had arranged time off work for it.

Courtneycaseey · 28-04-2019 8:06pm

Hi everyone!
Just wondering am I right in saying the first intake for July is supposed to be the 15th?
Wanted to book a holiday from the 29th of June to the 5th of July just wanted to see if I’d be safe enough?? I know I’m not guaranteed a place or anything but just to be safe

Ooh you had the medical fairly soon after the fitness test? Do you know is your Garda vetting back yet? I know it’s so hard I wanted to go on holidays this summer but I’ve no idea as to when I could be called for fitness or medical so not going to bother at this stage I think

I was told by HRM the dates are July 1st and 8th for Induction weeks and then July 15th for the start date

29-04-2019 1:36pm

Hey does anyone have the number to ring to find out about your vetting? I rang before and got them but tried the same number again and got an automated response this time.
