Yeah it is a bit strange. I duno why I pay the PRD and not the pension, maybe I am not earning enough? All I know is the only outgoings from my wages are USC, PAYE, PRSI and the PRD.
The PRD is usually refunded at the end of your contract (for all 3 of mine it came in the last salary payment). With the pension contributions we were given the option of leaving them in there or taking them out when we were leaving as none of us would build up enough service (established or otherwise) to making leaving them in there worthwhile.
Ya it seems strange that it would be different across the board. All I was told when I started was that all employees, including those on a temporary contract had to pay pension and PRD - And I guess I never really questioned it. I was told that there would be a 2 year wait to claim back what was paid into the pension.
pow wow thanks for the advice, I am certainly going to look into this, if I can get that back at the end of the contract it would be great, better in my pocket I figure!0 -

Just got the job today, start Monday at 9.30am in Cork
they wanted me for tomorrow but sadly I'm still in the middle of exams
Totally relieved though, slept in that morning and almost missed an exam that I had on the day of the interview so I was completely frazzled for it.0 -
I just got a call from a lady at the public appointments service! They forgot to give me a Garda vetting form at the interview! she is posting one out to me! Anyway she said she is appointing people to places at the moment and that all posts are subject to Garda vetting! So it looks like if you were successful at interview you will have a job! I'm in the Dublin area if people are wondering! 0

Are all interviews for these temporary positions taking place in Dublin, no matter where in the country the jobs are? My niece from Donegal (only applied for Donegal area) just got word that her interview is in Dublin at 10AM next week!!!!!!
This of course means an overnight stay and an expensive 4 hour return bus journey. And all with no guarantee of a job even if she is successful at interview. Doesn't seem very fair to me

Congrats. Was this local to you?Got a mail today that I was successfull at interview so fingers crossed I get something. Interview was held in Galway.
I can't believe a person from Donegal will be so disadvantaged, not alone having to travel so far but with an interview scheduled so early that an overnight stay is necessary 0 -

Seems strange to have to travel so far. I applied for the Limerick or Clare region can't remember which and was called to Galway for the interview. Limerick or clare would be near where I live0 -

A lot of them are being held in Dublin and whilst the confirmation emails say they can't change the time slots, in some instances they can, particularly if you explain how far you're going to have to travel. You think they'd take it into account when scheduling them in the first place but apparently not.
No changes will be permitted - despite an explanation of the distance and timing
Very inflexible and unfair to people living at a great distance from Dublin, especially since it appears that interviews have taken place in other counties.
I would appreciate any information from those posting here as to where their interviews took place. Is it only Donegal that is experiencing this type of inconsideration?0 -
