Process of Gaining Exemptions from the Public Service Embargo

    Hi!

    I was wondering if anybody had any insider info on the process of gaining an exemption from the present embargo in the CS? I applied to the Enterprise Ireland grad programme way back in February and I got a call about 3 weeks ago saying I had been selected but they were waiting for approval from the Minister of Finance. I got an e-mail today informing me that the request had been 'escalated' but still waiting for final clearance......

    As far as I know they've been in contact with the Dept for around 2 months now, the final interview was mid-March. Does anybody know if this is a good sign or bad? Or anything at all!!?

    On tenterhooks here waiting to hear!! Cheers.

    Unless it's critical, anything that needs to get across an important Minister's desk and get a signature tends to take ages. That includes multi-million euro projects, not just things like an embargo exemption sign-off. The fact that they've selected you and are keeping you up to date is a very good sign. So long as the money is made available it should just be a matter of waiting.

    If it's the CS then there's a strong chance someone is doing the exact same job in a different department.

    Not sure if you mean the job I'm applying for or the job of processing the case for an exemption....

    Don't think you'd be right on either tho.
    If it's for the job I'm applying for, which is a 2 year grad programme in the international offices for Enterprise Ireland, there's turnover each year as it's a 2 year programme, therefore a group of grads leave each year and are replaced by the new ones...

    If ya mean in the CS itself I'd imagine not as I thought everything to do with getting an exemption from the embargo would go through the dept of finance...

    But again I'm totally in the dark so who knows!!
