Dublin Clerical Officer, has anyone been placed yet?

Pael

Im curious if anyone has been placed or knows of anyone been placed from the recent dublin clerical officer competition. To be precise, the tests for this competition took place last year, september i *think* and interviews took place mid to late july this year. I got the usual letter, stating i had met the required standard and subject to the usual precautions, garda background check i presume?, i would be contacted if i was considered for placement. That was the first week in august. I rang them last week for an update and was told they had to satisfy themselves candidtates where of good character and things had not progress passed this stage. Again i presume this is the garde vetting forms? Has anyone been offered a job in this competition yet, is it normal for the vetting forms to take this long to be checked or am i just being fobbed off as there is no jobs at the moment? I dont want to ring again and make a nusiance of myself.
