Do you mind me asking how they made contact with you? Is it a phone call or email from PAS? TIA

PAS rang me last week to notify me they had reached my number and to confirm I was still interested in a position. They were able to confirm where the vacancy was on the phone too.

After the phone call they emailed me asking me to confirm I was happy for clearance to proceed.

Im being retained in the same department so just waiting to hear where Im going but not sure how long clearance usually takes.

That's great. Thank you.

I can stop refreshing my emails so in the hopes that I have received an offer!

Definitely relax a bit, they will get in touch as soon as they reach you and then the relevant department will contact you once clearance is complete.

Any idea how long clearance takes?

I got the call on Friday evening asking about clearance, said I was happy to proceed, being kept in same department but different office, checked sick leave and pmds rating on Monday, got placed on the Tuesday. So it varies, for me it took two days and someone else I know had to be Garda vetted again so took a little longer but not much. All in all very quick.

I don't suppose there will be any more placements before Christmas.

It is separate but I think they are running together. Mine is interdepartmental ICT, they need a lot of HEO's at the moment.
As far as I know people can be called of 1 of 3 panels


. External HEO panel
. Interdepartmental HEO
. Interdepartmental ICT HEO


I am told there will be movement on them all

Are these positions just in Dublin or nationwide?

Does anyone know if it’s published anywhere how many positions are owed to mobility panels?
I’ve asked the union rep but he hasn’t responded yet.

I think you've got your wires crossed.

If by External HEO panel you mean Open HEO, no there isn't one. HEO is a promotional grade for serving civil servants who wish to be promoted from CO or EO. Open HEO competitions are only ever run for specialist roles, such as ICT, (see below).

Yes, there is definitely a current Interdepartmental HEO competition, for serving civil servants.

There is also an Open HEO ICT Competition currently running, called Senior Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Specialist in Civil Service. This isn't Interdepartmental, i.e candidates who aren't current civil servants could apply. (All ICT competitions over the last five years at least, have been open for EO, HEO and AP). I have yet to see an Interdepartmental HEO ICT competition.

There may also be internal HEO competitions within your department.

Hi, I went for interview on 16th Dec for Wexford and I got results on 19th Dec. There was no waiting around for results in my case. I made no. 1 for Wexford.

Congratulations and well done, you won't be waiting long to be called I would imagine. Hopefully there will be some movement for the rest of us in January.

Have many people from the regional panels started in their new roles yet? I feel that this competition is going on forever at this stage.

Some regional counties have had placements but some haven't. No movment on Laois or Kildare yet as far as I know.

When is this panel due to expire?
