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

Yeah I stayed where I was, exact same area so it was just a promotion in situ. If you do get a proper answer, I would be very grateful for any further detail! I've got in touch twice and wasn't too impressed with the response! But I know it will come good.... Eventually!

Grand. Thanks for that. I think I see the pattern now. I'll drop you a PM afterwards. Did you get onto AHCPS? or have you joined?

anybody know how far down batch 2 has gone for Dublin?

Elvis Lennon · 08-09-2017 1:09pm

I phoned yesterday. Down to 49 on the Open panel.

Moving quickly enough.I'm at about 100 so something could come up sooner than I thought.

CP30 · 08-09-2017 1:52pm

Does anyone know how many are on the batch 2 panel?

Good stuff. Was there any indication on the pace of movement going forward?

Not really, it all depends on demand from departments. But I have seen it before, after a relatively quiet August due to holidays, a big increase in activately in September.

Based on the 60% interview pass rate that Batch 1 had then there should be approx 150 in Batch 2 as circa 250 were called to interview.

Great thanks.

I'm a batch three person, do you think they'll get to the end of batch two and take people from batch three to actually offer jobs too?

I'd be as close to 100% as it's possible to get.

There's more than one year left on the Panel. PAS would not be interviewing from Batch 3 now unless they thought they were going to need to pull from Batch 3 very soon.

Exactly. It wouldn't make any sense for PAS to call a batch 3 at this stage if they weren't going to start using it at some point relatively soon.

Are batch 3 interviews ongoing or complete as a matter of interest?

Anyone hear of any regional movement? I am waiting on Westmeath or Galway.

clubzero · 09-09-2017 3:00pm

2 Laois appointments in recent weeks whether that is representative of national picture don't know

sodacake1968 · 09-09-2017 3:04pm

Anything on limerick or cork

I phoned after this and was told it was at 37? Did anybody else hear it was further on? Apparently, I was told, it could be slow enough moving forward.

All very confusing.

JD1763 · 11-09-2017 9:41am

As of Friday up to 49 had been sent to clearance.

I am in that batch but have not yet heard from the clearance unit. I was told to expect to hear from them this week.

ThumbTaxed · 11-09-2017 11:45pm

How is it right for someone to get a position ahead of others who have a vast array for experience in that area.

It is not fair on the POs, the HEOs and other staff reporting to that person. These lemons just sit there and take the wage and pass the buck.

Those being defensive about it have not seen it in play while those more open to what I am saying will have experienced it. To me anyone taking jobs out of their skillset are cons

CalvinBalti · 12-09-2017 12:09am

I'm in that 49 batch too but haven't heard anything. I'm external to the Civil Service. What the best way to find information on my status?

You can just ring PAS and ask to speak to someone about the AP competition and your current place on the panel.

Brilliant, this again, I'm super excited this rant is being resurrected. :rolleyes:

JD1763 · 12-09-2017 1:11pm

That chip on the shoulder must be getting mighty heavy at this stage :rolleyes:

So when someone makes an objective comment - which is true - it is sour grapes or "chip on the shoulder". I think not. Maybe you could use the words, "honest", "objective" or "insightful".

Thanks

JD1763 · 12-09-2017 7:49pm

I previously responded to you constructively which you ignored and now you're back with another ridiculous rant with vague references to 'lemons' and 'jobs out of their skillsets', claims which have no basis beyond what is clearly only your personal opinion.
At this point you are either trolling or have a clear case of sour grapes that others have advanced ahead of you.
Build a bridge already.
Thanks.

Can you provide any verifiable examples or studies to support your position as without them it's really coming across as a subjective not an objective comment.
