    There should also be a copy on your PAS profile in your applications.

    What you are looking for is your ‘interview form’. You would have filled it out on the computer and uploaded it to the public jobs site. You should have it saved.

    The one I’m talking about is the one where I was sent a link on my my message board on the public jobs website? It was one of the first things done

    Yea, I’m pretty sure that’s called ‘interview form’ that’s what it was for the June ‘17 applicants anyway.

    Anyone else get their interview results today? How long does it usually take to hear about medical, vetting etc?

    Your in for a huge shock if you think vetting only takes 2-3 weeks. It can take anything up to a few years.

    I did my interview in Sept and only did my fitness test on the 1st March with medical next week. So that's about 6 months of a wait. Also, it's fitness test first this time round, so you'll get a GP clearance form in your email. Fitness test will be a few weeks after that, it was 2 months for me.

    Dates are 23rd April, 15th July and 16th December.

    It may not be that long of a wait but I would be prepared anyway. :)

    Is this distance requirement just for your probationary period? 50km seems a bit ludicrous if it's long term.

    After probation you can apply for a transfer but that could take a few years. You may be able to get closer but don’t be under any illusions, when you sign up you agree to the transfer and deployment procedures.

    Of course, i’d be happy to go anywhere in the country for a few years. But I recall meeting some north dubs in the city centre, and even in my local area, where they couldn’t have grown up more than 20k from that station, and that’s a stretch.

    I would also assume they’d want the tougher Gardaí in areas with more crime and day to day violence? I.e. send the bigger lads to Dublin city centre, Limerick, Cork City (wherever the most assaults on Garda take place).

    Dublin is exempt from distance regulations.

    That doesn't factor into it at all.

    All the major centres are exempt; Cork, Limerick etc.

    Anywhere else it could be 50-100km. The class that are due to leave soon had several married people and people married with kids in Cork put up in Dublin as well as people from Galway etc. sent to Dublin. It could go the other way next time so factor that in when you apply.

    You mention which number you are placed - is that based on your physical test, interview, stage 2 test, or an accumulation of everything? Thanks.
