    in coming weeks.

    Competition will be available to anyone to apply.

    Starting salary of €65k.

    Will post details when competition is formally announced which will be a couple of weeks away.

    AP is a very difficult entry point to the Civil Service, it's a very demanding and difficult role, hours can be very long and stress levels high though like all jobs some roles are far easier than others.

    Is there a best way to study for any exams and what are the usual responsibilities of an AP

    I wouldn't say the hours would be long , but yes there is a good amount of responsibility and expertise required with an AP job
