    This years application form is different to last year. It no longer gives you space or a section to outline places of residency with working and studying! I wonder why! :confused:

    Ah totally missed that! I liked how they done it last year with part A and B as you got a bit of a breather between each!

    Edit: the way that they are doing it now, is the same way that they do the clerical officer tests. 3 tests in 1 link!

    Yeah i liked the way they done it too, it was nice to have the bit of a break in between. It wiil be over a done with quicker this time since the tests are not spaced out. Hopfully they havnt changed the style of the tests nowas well.

    It says it in the Garda Trainee booklet notes for candidates, look under the stage one part and it says it there.
