In the information booklet it states If you are successful you have to go for training, which is in templemore over a five week period? Does that mean you are required to stay overnight mon-fri or ?

I'm currently in AGS and I find it pretty good. Work life balance is good, no issues wth working up/taking off flexi, job share, term time etc and no dealing with the public really

That's great to hear. Regarding the locations, do you know if Westmeath is based in Athlone or Mullingar? Also would you know where in Sligo the Sligo office is based?

Thanks

I haven't a clue but I would imagine Sligo town and Mullingar as those are the divisional headquarters but I'm open to correction

I assume they pay for the training anyway.

Circular 21/04 deals with incremental credit. It might clear it up for you

Would you have a link for that circular?

For some reason I can't attach it. Search "circular 21/04 incremental credit" on Google and it will come up

Got it, ty CrunchyMomma

I would like to apply for this role but the residential training in templemore is a big downside for me. I have young kids and don't feel I could feck off for five weeks! As much Craic it would probably be! Does anyone know if you can just do a daily commute instead of being resident?

I am hoping you csn as I have a four year old and a one year old so being gone Monday to Friday for five weeks would not be ideal but I figure I can decide for definite if and when the time comes

Thanks crunchymomma I hope so too. In a similar situation myself. Judging by the last year the whole process takes about a year or so from application to training start, so at least our kids will be a bit older by then!

yessiryes · 09-07-2018 9:22pm

In the same boat with two young kids but might be glad of the full nights kip ha! Hoping it will be feasible to commute for some of the week at least. Have filled in most of the application form now, not quite sure how well I answered...especially the bit about experience, involvements, special qualities......

Skip13 · 10-07-2018 1:07pm

So I applied, I don't think I have the right qualifications etc or experience but I did it, fingers crossed.

I'm not sure I do either but I figured feck it, it can't hurt to apply

Got a notification that I submitted a blank application form which is crazy, I definitely uploaded a filled out one.

You can check what you uploaded on your applications section on your public jobs profile.

Tipp star · 10-07-2018 10:51pm

Just finished my application

. Not sure I fit the bill either but I think the job seems interesting.

Crunchymomma · 11-07-2018 12:40pm

I actually found it hard to give examples of qualitative data, did anyone else? I had to wreak my brain to try and come up with an answer/example. Theres probably a million examples, i just couldnt think!

Depends on your job and what you were working on. Did you ever have surveys where comments were allowed? This would count imo as qualitative data. Or did you get data from Interviews or Workshops? That would also be qualitative data.

No i dont use them in my line of work, its all about numbers and figures, so i kinda had to spoof so i talked about forecasting but not in numbers

This is from 2007

https://www.irishexaminer.com/ireland/icrime/garda-jobs-attract-strong-interest-28593.html

SOME 220 people have applied for three top civilian analyst positions in the gardaí.

Around 60 people have submitted applications for the position of senior crime and policing analyst, while a further 160 people have applied for the two positions of higher crime and policing analysts.

When these three positions are filled, a further 26 crime analysts will be recruited into the specialist unit in Garda Headquarters in Dublin’s Phoenix Park.

And two other articles from not so long ago
