    I’ll give them a call tomorrow. Would people think it would be a case that I just do the medical after the pregnancy or would I be kicked out?

    Hey Holland, firstly congrats!! I was pregnant last year and had to DEFER my *fitness test* so I don't think there would be any problem deferring a medical. Your file should just be put to the back until the baby arrives and you pick up where you left off. I know this from experienced. Just tip off HRM and take it from there ✌️✌️

    Hello all,

    Has anyone heard of any horror stories of probation Garda being stationed miles / different counties away from where they live?

    Well you will be stationed in a different county...that's almost a certainty...if you live in Dublin, Cork, Limerick etc. you can be based there but anywhere else you'll be in a different county.

    If you have no ties i.e. mortgage, kids etc. you could be sent anywhere.

    I was the same only lifted weights and did a good bit of hiking. Its hard to say but if you do any bit of exercise at all that raises your heart rate you should have a good shot at it! Download the beep test app and give it a go for the next two days and then rest Friday and see how you get on

    Do you know what is the "name" of the appeal you can put to Garda and stay in your own County? Since I have kids I need to stay closest to home as possible.

    A welfare case. It will be explained to you when you start in the college. You'll have plenty of time to put it in.

    Thank you! So are we really going in to college or is it going to be like someone mentioned earlier in this group, that there is no college but straight in to a Garda station?

    Even if you fail the beep test you have to go on and do everything else which is good! If you fail the beep and pass everything else you only have to repeat the beep test.
    They are lovely and so is everyone else you meet on the day :)

    High blood pressure would hardly stop you passing the medical would it?

    If you have high bp I’d advise getting a 24hr monitor and have the report with you on the day , cause more then likely oc health will ask for one to see if you are okay In normal circumstances, and not just high with the doctor

    Or if you are on medication, you will be fine

    Yeah that’s really what I was asking.
    In terms of allowances, unsocial hours etc. And also in terms of transferring pension.

    I’m assuming you have experience

    The allowances (big cheque) on the old roster was worth about 6k per year pre tax for new starts but its less now with the roster change.(I went through 1 roster and added in all the allowances so its an estimate) Dont rely on it.
    The 184 add 25 per day in a station but that may only have been temp during covid.

    For me it was nearly 4 weeks, I'd to ring them and ask for a date or to be put on a cancellation list. For others it was a matter of days 🀷ðŸ»*♀️ðŸ’*♀️
