It depends on where youre talking about. There's at least 8 sitting on the Mayo panel and approx 20 for Sligo from the last comp.

The high failure rate mostly occurred on the presentation side of things

True, seems to be alot of positions in Dublin that have been filled and that are waiting to be filled.

Yes the presentation seemed to knock alot of people out, will they drop this part of the process this time so if it gives to high of a failure rate. who knows with PAS... :rolleyes:

I wouldn't be counting the chickens just yet folks. Still have to get over the hurdle of stage 2 first.

I get the impression that not as many applied for this competition as the last.

It appears that Limerick Revenue have advised staff that the office is closed tomorrow. Anybody hear of any other Government Offices doing the same.

Posted this in the weather warning thread as well, might also be of use here. I'm going offline now so you can take or leave the info, but my advice to us all is to stay at home and stay safe - whatever decision is made about being paid or unpaid or made to take annual leave or whatever will have to be civil service wide, and the CPSU advised all non-essential members not to travel, so I can't see there being any negative implications for people not attending.

My info is from either texts that I've received or been forwarded by others:
PeoplePoint closed
OGP in 3 Spencer Dock told not to attend (C&AG and OGCIO are also in same building, would imagine same advice would apply)
15 Lower Hatch Street which houses DFAT & Ombudsman for Defence also closed

Justice just announced on twitter that it's closed tomorrow

CSO closed:
