    Hi, I had my fitness test just today and I was surprised with the beep test, it wasn’t as bad as I expected but I had been practicing it for the past two weeks or so! Saying that three of four failed the beep test from my group


    Congrats, I remember you saying you were worried, glad you practiced I bet !

    Correct me please if I am wrong but is it not the rule to first have the vetting done before going on to PCT and medical? Or how does it work?

    Nope! Vetting goes on in the background, some people’s vetting clears quickly and others don’t. There is no rule about vetting having to be complete before pct or medical and typically vetting will be the last thing to get cleared before an offer is made

    Do you not think it's a bit late to be asking that now?

    Hi, just a query on this - is the college degree increment still in place? Does anyone know what way this works exactly?

    You get it when you're out of probation. Two years after you're attested.

    Just wondering do people have any information on being located after your training? With covid are you more likely to be in the county you want to be or are there certain cities that they would definitely send some of the 75 that go in training in July?

    Any tips for pacing the sit ups. Gassing out before I get to 35 on the minute.

    I would suggest to ring HRM as the doctor will require a urine sample from you on the day. That was the case with Occupational Health anyway when I done it 4 years ago i.e urine sample.

    Focus on breathing inhale as you go down and exhale on the way up.

    Anyone who done the medical know exactly what is involved in it? And do they tell you on the day if you pass it or not?

    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?

    Honestly it’s a massive grey area in what you’re asking, I don’t think you’ll get the correct answer on this forum (no disrespect to anyone)

    Call hr tomorrow and state your case and have the questions you want answered ready for them

    Guys, I have been called for a PCT this Saturday having previously deferred earlier in the month.
    Would a doctors note buy me a bit more time or will I still be booted out?.

    Thanks

    I just had my medical in Cork today. They took my hight, weight, blood pressure, listened to my lungs, had an eye test and hearing test. It took maybe 15 min and I was done.
    Just not to sure about the paperwork now....the doctor took all of my paperwork so I don't have anything to send back to the Garda and the email said to send it till the 30th bit there is nothing to send!?

    Not really. He just said that the examination is now over and he will send the results on to the Gardai.

    You don’t need to send anything back to them ? All is done by the Medmark
