    What jobs are public service jobs here in Ireland? I have heard that there are many benefits to working in the public sector but I'm not sure exactly what a public sector job is.

    Teachers? Nurses? Government bodies? Revenue? I think these are all public sector right?

    What about banks? I'm pretty sure commercial banks are private sector right but what about the Central Bank? Is it public or private?

    Is there anywhere else I've missed that is a public service job?

    Thanks, I feel a bit daft now that I couldn't manage to find that.

    I applied for a job in the Central Bank a few months ago but didn't get it. I thought they were public sector though cause my friend got a permanent job there straight out of college. There's a mandatory pension contribution and stuff too. I thought that was only public sector stuff but maybe I was wrong.

    Yeah. The central bank is public sector.
