    Got my clearance back in March, heard nothing since, COVID is probably having a big effect on every thing, I think the GARDA have the same problems too, well if individuals are getting notifications of clearances back it’s a good thing that the system is slowly getting back to normal 👍

    Most of us done it before covid19 it might be easier in person so my advice is dont be shy and get your voice heard but also take on board what others say.

    ''Mr McGrath has been told that given the “urgent need” to manage Exchequer expenditure, there are a number of options that could be considered to reduce demand on the Exchequer in the short-term, including:

    * A moratorium on recruitment other than for key front line areas for a period of 12 months''

    'https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-40025909.html'

    as far as im concerned p.o and garda's and nurses are key front line workers, so i would not be worrying

    It's harsh but they're not going to hold up a class because your vetting didn't come back. You'll come to learn that IPS is a machine of sorts, not always very efficient but it'll run on whatever fuel is available as fumes will only last for so long. Vetting is beyond their control so they will employ those who are readily available.

    PCP classes means the actual classes or physical tests?

    If that’s the case they will probably run the PCT’s in November and December when the October class leaves Portlaois.
    How long were you waiting on your clearance?
