I believe I will! More so asking out of general curiosity and to see how quickly things will move.

Your analysis from earlier in the summer is spot on so far Bobby!

At this rate I'd be surprised if you weren't an AP by Christmas.

For information, a friend who was in the low 20s (batch 2) on the interdepartmental panel got promoted today (Dublin). Something is happening at last!

I'm not sure and for some reason I can't contact them! From memory, I think they were mid to late 30s. I phoned PAS and they said they had appointed up to late teens (open).

Not as yet. Last time I asked they told me it would be 'a number of weeks' before they would give that information. I'm regional only.

Hi all, first time poster here. Can anyone hazard a guess how many panels could potentially be formed? If they called 1047 from the open and 750 approx from the interdepartmental to complete round 2 how many people passed to potentially be called for interview?

I know from the last AP they called a further batch outside the original numbers for round 2 testing, I'm wondering if this may be a possibility?

That is a good question. I am wondering what the pass rate for round two testing was? I would assume that batch 3 are all those who passed stage 2 but were not called for interview until now. If not, it would mean there was a very high pass rate from round 2 of testing.

I was high 300's Interdepartmental and high 500's Open and have just been called for the Interviews in September. I'm only interested in Galway or Mayo.

Any updates on movement on batch 2 from last week?

I know somebody in the 80s. So Im guessing over 100.

coloneldecker

30s isn't bad, I wasn't even sure it had gotten to double figures. I'm just over 100 so it definitely goes that high.

sodacake1968

Any placings for regional batch 2

Just checked payslip there and still no sign of AP salary so it'll at the very least be over 2 months to put through a payrise.

My completely non-scientific tuppence worth.

We know that approx 60% from Batch 1 who were called to interview were placed on the panel.

Approx 250 people from Batch 2 were called to interview thus, if we assume a similar pass rate, we can infer approx 150 would have made the panel.

Just so you know, I got a promotion effective 8th June 2017 and I am still waiting. People Point confirmed to me last week that they were currently dealing with a huge backlog and were working on last week of May and I would be dealt with in strict rotation in 'a few weeks'.

So I'm 3 - 4 months waiting, nothing yet!

Thanks for the heads up on that. Did you stay in your dept on promotion? I'm not sure that kind of delay is legal under the payment of wages act.

I have a name of an AP in that section and I'll be ringing tomorrow looking for proper answers
