same here when was the others ?

I'm sure you meant EFR rather then ERF bk1991 but I don't think it's healthy to speculate rumours around here. A million and one things might happen between now and Autumn.

I'd take everything you hear with a pinch of salt. That said, I think it would stand to reason that they would recruit this year. It won't be easy though. A lot of people in PTS positions will be looking to get in on it I would imagine.

Also worth bearing in mind that under the Croke Park Agreement many areas of the public service are recruiting from within the public service and not recruiting externally.
DFB are a good example of this - under the CPA staff can now be re-deployed from areas that are considered to be overstaffed. Apparently DFB recruitemnt is now reserved for existing employees with no external applications invited.

True, but I'm hoping, like last time, it won't stop them. Is ambulance service recruitment not exempt? That said, nothing's ever certain.

To my knowledge it's not exempt - it means other HSE employees get priority over external candidates ( assuming they even invite external applications ).

The ambulance service is largely not affected by the Moratorium on recruitment but redeployment is happening within the hse.

Has anybody an idea with whats happening with this panel?
