    Congrats to those who got placed. Didn't make the cut myself, but seeing as I've only been an EO for five months I can't say that I'm surprised. Anyone have any idea when the next one might be held?

    I think all AO panels are only 1 year so around September/October it will be ran again.

    P.S: It says on the booklet that "The panels created from this competition will expire on 31 December 2019."

    Not from Galway, but Galway is one of my choices. Really hoping not to be offered it.

    Forgive my ignorance on this, I had applied for the Civil Service Nationwide AO around the same time and cant remember which competition asked us to select regions. Did we select regions for the Revenue AO competition?

    No Ollie I have not! Seeing as it’s a general email and not directly to a person , I don’t foresee there to be a quick response!! Think it’s just a matter of waiting now !

    Batch 2 are being called, it seems.

    I feel like I've wasted countless days I'll never get back filling in application forms. So fed up of it.

    Surely if they're calling a Batch 2, they must have jobs for everyone on the current panel and we should hear something soon?

    When are the interviews starting for Batch 2?

    They did this for EO but it was because they had filled Dublin only and wanted more for Dublin.

    I agree and if this is the case I'm disgusted. They knew exactly where we applied for, if there were no posts in our chosen locations, they shouldn't have wasted our time. I am sick of forms and competitions and interviews and traveling to Dublin. It doesn't bode well they're already calling batch 2. Why not just run a competition for Dublin AO only.

    There is a lot of internal movement in Revenue at the moment. You probably see that in your own place. There are retirements and Brexit customs shifts that all need to be sorted as well.

    There seems to be a centralization again of employment in both revenue and the civil service and this is evident in the recruitment of AOs.

    They seems to be pulling AO's for revenue off the PAS general panel too so I see in the other thread.

    midlands region - Roscommon, Westmeath and Offaly

    Anywhere in those 3 would be great. I think Tullamore would have the biggest Revenue office out of all 3 and would be about a 30/35 minute commute each way for me. Be grand!

    Just got the email for batch 2. Two questions for anyone in the know:

    Firstly, is there any point even going if I’m only interested in Cork? Have they gotten onto batch 2 for Revenue AO in Cork before?

    Also, do I have a chance of passing the interview with just a law degree and no tax exams done yet? I passed the CS AO by the skin of my teeth :pac:

    So sick of being up and down to Dublin :rolleyes:

    Really? That gives me a bit of hope. If you'd wanted Dublin, batch 2 wouldn't have been a good sign for me. It would have been an indication they only wanted Dublin. I wonder do they even look at people's locations.....
