    My vetting only came through recently which makes me think something is in the pipeline. Why would they bother wasting time with the back office / vetting if they had no intention of using our files?

    I've been getting that generic email since 2019. When will that be ? How long away ? They would really wanna make more of an effort and contact us to let us know the current situation regarding our applications

    It’s a pain that’s the only response they give. Are you waiting on PCT or have you everything done?

    thats a fact, i dont think anything will be scrapped just pushed out is all.
    this whole year has been more or less ruined by covid. hopefully it wont affect next year.

    at least when we have made it through templemore we can look back at this time at how our resiliency helped us through :D:D:D

    When did they tell you that you need to re-do the medical?? I’m expecting to have to redo it but haven’t heard anything from them, I did my medical may 2019

    I was told by a previous candidate. Medical is valid for a year, between 1 year and 18 months you may be required to grt a letter signed by your gp to state that your medical history hasn't changed.

    After 18 months you need to resit the medical examination

    Dear Applicant,

    We refer to your email below.

    Medical examinations remain valid for 12 months. Physical competence tests do not have to be repeated. Should you be required to attend another medical we will be in touch in due course. However please be aware there are currently no medicals being arranged for Garda Trainees.

    Regards

    Can’t imagine it will help. It’s still good to see that training for the previous intakes has restarted, one thing the HR are great at is giving f*ck all notice when you do get called so be prepared cause the call could come sooner than we think even with covid going on

    It’s absolute torture at this stage, I wish they could understand how much a little bit more information would mean to us all, I get that their dealing with covid etc but surely they have some sort of plan in place, even information on how the current intakes are progressing would be something

    Great news if true. If they are planning an intake in January 2021 then they will surely have fitness tests in 2020. I hope this isn't a wind up.

    Seems like an awfully large influx of very specific information, as far as including dates, slap bang in the middle of an extremely uncertain time.

    Would be fantastic if thats accurate, but given every 2 pages you can look back and find a rumor which didn't hold true, I'm going to temper my excitement on this for now.

    I agree!! I’m hoping he might back that up with a source
