    Theres already an Interdepartmental HEO comp in progress. The next one wont be advertised for about another year and a half. I know Revenue and DSP are undergoing an Internal competition for HEO.

    I must have picked up the wrong end of the stick. But wasn't there an interdepartmental HEO comp two years ago? I thought that the panel for that expires next month

    Yes. Thats the 2016 competition. The current one running is the 2017 competition. The 2016 as you said exhausts in a month.

    You're right, I was one week short of the two years service required so the 2017 comp wasn't on my radar at all! Completely forgot about it :)

    Got my offer, unfortunately as it was for Dublin I had to turn it down. I've asked to be kept under consideration for two counties. Fingers crossed something will turn up. Best of luck to all those waiting.

    Yeah I don't think any of us on the IGEES list have heard anything yet. Would have thought this week although the weather closures might have slowed things down.

    Does anyone know how many people were placed on the panel? I'm wondering if they'll be calling a second panel soon.

    It would be great to see what Depts people are being assigned to.

    For everyone that has been assigned or offered a dept, would ye mind filling out the poll below?

    It's totally anonymous.

    http://www.polljunkie.com/poll/onsttf/ao-campaign-201718

    (i know it can be abused if people start fake voting but it's only a bit of craic)

    Everyone else can see the results here http://www.polljunkie.com/poll/geiqfj/ao-campaign-201718/view/pdezxy

    Could go anywhere in the Civil Service. Departments, Offices, Agencies.

    Yes but are all those Offices and Agencies not technically under a Dept? ie An Garda Síochána is the Dept of Justice.

    Yes and no. If you're working for one Agencies and Offices of those you're working for them, not the Department of Justice.

    For example OPW, State Lab, PAS etc. are under the aegis of DPER. If you're appointed to one of those you're not working for DPER.

    Revenue too. It's officially The Office of the Revenue Commissioners.

    On another unrelated note, the Road Safety Authority, (RSA), which came into being on 1 September 2006 as a statutory organisation created by the Road Safety Authority Act, 2006 are principally funded by, and responsible to, the Department of Transport. But the RSA is a public service organisation, not civil!

    Probably until the formation of DPER, which as you know took all things expenditure from finance.

    Revenue run their own competitions. For good reason. Any Revenue grade is a a grade, if not two sometimes, above the rest of the service; in my experience.
