I think April next year however regional panels were created later so maybe summer 2021. Do you think the previous panels have expired and that’s why these areas were called? Or could there still be a few people left on them?

As far as I know they are interviewing to need. Some internal panels have run out

United Park

Got an email saying I was on a panel for Louth in batch 1 1.

Does anyone think there’ll be many vacancies for even the top 10 of this panel to be called? (I am assuming nearly all vacancies would be in Dundalk)

Does anyone know what the annual leave for HEO is? Is it 29 days starting and 30 days after 5 years? Does previous service in another grade count towards those 5 years? Have they stopped the 31 days after 10 years!

Thanks for any answers!

Max 30 for all new recruits, other grades would count if you had entitlement to 29 days in that grade too

Has anyone any idea roughly how long it takes to get placed?

HEO competitions have been interdepartmental and you'd need to go back a long way since there has been a large open HEO competition. You need two years as a civil servant to be eligible for an internal/interdepartmental competition.

There are no Open HEO competitions, except for specialist roles like HEO ICT. In general service, HEO is a promotional role. You need to be a serving CO or EO, then with two years service, you can apply for any Internal or Interdepartmental HEO competitions that come up.

There are Open HEO competitions, it is not solely a promotional grade, nor is the open competition reserved for specialist grades.

My wife joined the CS from the private sector a number of years ago as a HEO from an Open Comp.

There was an open HEO and an ICT HEO recently.

The promotional HEO competition was a few months back. I assume they do the promotional one first, and the open HEO if they still have positions to fill.

Yes, you're right there, I think the post at the same time as mine said there haven't been any open competitions for a good few years. What I should have said was, there haven't been any in a good few years.

Yes there was an open HEO ICT competition recently, I mentioned that there are open HEO competitions for specialist roles like ICT. When was the open HEO (general service) recently?

Seems it was only an ICT HEO.

But here's an open HEO competition; https://www.publicjobs.ie/en/?option=com_jobsearch&view=jobdetails&cid=127370&campaignld=20267403

Why do you assume it's an Open Competition? The details of this Interdepartmental Competition were circulated in various departments today. Have you followed the Apply Now link? It leads to the application form for the Interdepartmental Competition for Promotion to Higher Executive Officer (HEO) in the Civil Service - Reference Number 20267403

I did not, no. One of the lads forwarded me the link, and although I had no interest in it, I thought I'd post it as you were looking for the HEO competition.

I asked if there was an open HEO competition recently, there hasn't been and the one you posted is interdepartmental.

Just wondering as I am on new panel for current heo comp and have been offered Dublin but have to give a decision not knowing if I could get my 1st choice which is Offaly. I was placed 9th for Offaly after stage 1. Thanks in advance.
