    did people get told a number after their fitness test, Is it not just being told on the day that you passed?

    Got called for my PCT in early October.

    Not confident I'll be ready for it but gonna go ahead with it and if I'm not this time Ill hopefully be better ready for the 2nd attempt.

    Glad to see they are back up and running anyways so it feels like some progress.

    Seemingly not. Was in small groups so can't say for certain but seemingly someone pulled a muscle or something and that done them.

    They explain to you before you sign off that it's important you are confident you can complete fitness because once you have signed if you have to stop for any reason that is your first go done, even if it's an injury etc.

    They really do their best for you down there and want to see you pass but no point going to try it if you don't think you are ag the point of passing each requirement. Better off postponing until you are right.

    A few weeks running or practice does an awful lot for you so stick with it.

    As such I'd say ya. They said they tend to come in batches but just have to wait is all can be done I suppose.

    Does anybody have an opinion on how relevant your OOM is after you have interview done ?....I'm from the 2020 campaign and I got my results this week. Placed between 100 and 110.....Seems very far down to me or am I being hard on myself

    You are high enough on the panel to get a job. (some time in the future!) God knows when, it depends on retirements, vetting, no of people on the panel ahead of you. You've done well, no point over analysing it as it is completely beyond your control. Go live your life in the mean time.

    Before allowances are added that is. I have the new payscale for 2020, Prison officers have received a 2% pay rise from 1st October. Its decent pay for tough job.

    How much notice have you been giving to start your class after getting your clearance back? Seems to have happened so quick for you.

    Hi just wondering is there someone you can contact to check the status of your garda clearance? Or is it just a waiting game ?
    My husband has been waiting 15months.
    Thanks for your help
