Evening everybody, just received an email from AGS that my vetting has been complete, that took a while. in the email they said them will be sending 3 forms to be completed. Does anyone know once I get these forms back to them, is it another long wait until they place me somewhere. Thanks for any help

How long did vetting take

Hi did Anyone that got templemore AGS get clearance or start dates yet

Nothing yet got the call from clearance 4 weeks ago

katiek102010 · 19-08-2019 7:47pm

Just realised I have an email from vetting, says a disclosure has been made to PAS.

I'm now getting worried as I don't have any criminal record, never even got points on my licence

As far as i know a disclosure means that its complete and findings relayed back to PAS. So everyone gets that regardless of whether they're criminals or law abiding citizens. I always get that email anyway after doing vetting

All in all took nearly 5 months. Hopefully you won't have to wait that long. Still haven't been told where I will be assigned yet. They have to check with references. Hopefully this part won't take as long as the vetting

5 months takes me to January, which suits me perfectly. They have said AGS templemore, don't k ow if college or GS. I presume it's college as GS is tiny

I would imagine it will be the college. At least you know where you are going

How long does the checking of references take.

When I got the call from public jobs to offer me a place in Meath to then getting a call with my start date was about 5 days references are checked once you accept an offer so only a few days

Thanks, but do you just give the name of the references or fill out a form etc, also what timeframe would you be looking at between passing reference clearance etc and actually starting.

I am currently working in the same place the last few years so they just asked me was that still the case when she offered me the job and they would contact HR where I was to get a reference ..then 5 days later the place I was assigned to called me to give me a start date and I'm starting next week so all in all a month from when public jobs contacted me with offer to starting

I placed in Batch 3 for stage 2 of the most recent tests in Dublin. What are the chances of being called for interview??

Mr lebowski · 20-08-2019 5:38pm

Hi just got results back for the Westmeath supervised tests. Does anyone know how many was in batch 1 and 2. Im in batch 3!. I presume its unlikely to reach my number?

Linking123! · 20-08-2019 5:51pm

Well, I passed supervised test and was in batch 4. This was for Co Meath, but I had Louth as 1st choice.

What would this mean if I'm successful in my interview. Would I end up in Meath?

Secondly how far are we in Louth/Meath for placements?

Many thanks.

Thank you for that, is this every garda station throughout the country or just the large ones that work flexi-time? mine will be in a small-medium sized town and not a huge station.

Trying to make sure its a Monday-Friday position as cannot work weekends/public holidays due to my partners work ;-)
Flexi-time sounds great though if they all operate like this :-)

Im fairly sure all civilians in Garda Stations work the flexi hours

it will be Monday to Friday I've been working in one in Dublin since February and i love it moving to one in Waterford tho as im commuting from Wexford to Dublin and its a horrible commute just waiting on my transfer to go through

Paris123 · 20-08-2019 9:44pm

Sounds ideal... I take it you don't work bank holidays either so...hoping my vetting won't be delayed to long but I heard its longer with AGS, which is understandable. :-)

Hope you get back to Waterford soon to avoid that commute
😉👍🤗

Exactly the same here, I’m none the wiser about where I stand.
I think you can turn down the first county you get offered and hold out for your 1st choice, but there would be no guarantees that they would reach your place in the panel for your county of choice.

thanks so much

Sweetpea90 · 21-08-2019 2:30pm

Still waiting to be called for supervised test. Beginning to lose hope now. Areas are tipp and laois. Anyone know how far they have called to in those areas?

They’ve gotten to 134 for Laois. Not sure about Tipperary.

Usually depends on what county you applied for and how many jobs are available
