I am actually obsessed with checking boards at this stage. Fingers crossed it will be today.

I'm the same. I think I'll suffer from withdrawal symptoms when the results do actually come out and I won't need to check boards every five minutes.

Unfortunately, it's actually a waste of time.

A Colleague contacted them this week and just received the response "In Due Course".

Transparency at its finest

MUFC2019 · 23-10-2019 12:24pm

Does anyone know why there is such a delay in issuing the results? I've heard that in a previous competition there was a delay due to some people having to re-sit the presentation but I haven't heard of any such issue this time.

GKE · 23-10-2019 1:34pm

Anyone wiling to phone them again later?

I tired just now but there was no answer. It was probably not the best time to try as they are most likely on lunch.

I cant contact them again, they're probably sick of me at this stage. It doesnt look like it will be today anyway so hopefully this week

I rang and was told by very nice girl that it would be 1st week of November and definitely not this week, they do not expect that it will be next week either, but the week after, they are waiting for some departments to get back to them with vacancies so that they can give a placing etc. And they also have regional to sort out, I explained that I was regional. But it makes no difference these results will be published the same time.

Kanovara · 23-10-2019 10:18pm

Has anyone from batch 2.1 Dublin Region actually been assigned yet?

BLOSSOM11 · 24-10-2019 1:43pm

I just rang PAS and they said that we'll get results the 1st week of November. That they are waiting until panels expire

That's strange considering they have already released results for the earlier regional interviews that took place. PAS seem to using any old excuse now not to issue results, there's something funny going on.............

crispy69 · 24-10-2019 4:53pm

I was placed from batch 2.1 I start on the 4th November

What was your order of merit please? Where you retained by your own department?

I have also been told that if you are not allocated before November you won't be until January as the cut off for Payroll is early November

It's strange alright. They could have said in the first place they wouldn't issue until November or at the very least be consistent in how they answer queries. Can't really understand why they don't just release results and state that No one will be assigned until after the 1st November.

Worst thing is it's a long wait to find out your unsuccessful if you fall in to that category

BMHOPE · 24-10-2019 10:52pm

They sure don't make it easy. Interviews finished three weeks ago, all we want for the moment is pass or fail.... We can wait until November for order of merit. You would think that this panel should be in place for when the 17 one finishes next week. But obv not, if places open next week I suppose they will try to get a few moved of last panel. Waiting is always hard.

I completely agree. 3 weeks is too long to wait if you are one of the unsuccessful applicants. Now looks like we'll be waiting 5! PAS need to become more consistent with the issuing of results. Even a simple pass/fail result would be something

I'd still put money on this eve...

Luckily I never made it to the bookies! :-) ‚ you know what folks let's forget about it for the lovely long weekend and enjoy a nice alcoholic (or non!) beverage! Cheers!

westmeath11 · 26-10-2019 10:32am

Hi, I'm is slightly different position but the waiting is just as bad.
Does anyone know if there is s specific thread for "Senior Information and Communications Technology Specialist in the Civil Service (Interdepartmental)" ?
Like all of you, I have the interview done but waiting for an answer one way or the other.

I questioned that when I rang & by what she said it looks like next week. Still you never do know with PAS.

5 weeks seems like a crazy amount of time to wait for results, it would turn anyone off applying for future competitions. Hopefully we hear by Friday
