I was wondering the same I scored 499 in the test, 439 was the minimum to pass, I got an email late June to say they would doing more interviews in the coming months, not sure if I’m still in the competition at this stage.

No it’s not shift work. It’s essentially 9-5 but can often be 8-4 etc.

Hi guys

I see ye have gone through the vetting stage, I’m assigned to AGS to, just wondering did ye have to wait the full 12 weeks of vetting to be done, before ye heard anything? Thanks a mil in advance

SE2020

Does anyone know what number they're at now ? I scored in the 520s in the test.. I got expression of interest emails for the customs and for dept of agriculture but didn't express interest I wonder will there be interviews for people who didn't express interest in the next month or so?

Congrats on getting AGS! Mine took almost 12 weeks to the day but someone else I know took 17 weeks. Depending on the volume it could be longer or shorter. At the moment it seems like they’re starting to process it faster. But as it’s a clearance process to work with AGS they’ll be very thorough in what they’re doing so it’ll always take longer than the standard vetting process.

The best thing to do is be prepared that you won’t be starting there for at least 12 - 14 weeks (including reference check by PAS) and just get on with things for now. Hopefully it’ll come around quicker and you won’t feel the time pass. I actually didn’t feel it bar the odd day that my boss annoyed me! :-D

Great thanks very much for that, best of luck with AGS!

I know you’ve got a couple of answers already but I’ve got 2 staff members both waiting on positions in AGS. One was interviewed back in May and passed the PAS vetting and initial Garda vetting but has been waiting 14 weeks for the extra clearance and still hasn’t heard a word back yet. Although it looks like it will be soon enough as some people are getting assigned.

The other one submitted her additional documents almost 12 weeks ago and has had no word, although that competition seems to be the most drawn out competition I can recall.

yeah full 12 weeks, (Mid May - Mid Aug) but it could be faster now as summer holiday's are over, id say but yeah 12 weeks plus another 2-3 for ref.

Be prepared to wait, sent mine 23 weeks ago this coming week but they maintain it’s been 17 weeks, still not back, they don’t begin your vetting straight away.

vetting takes only one week, but security clearance takes longer as they do check previous addresses

Previous addresses? I’ve only ever lived at one address my entire life so it’s just pure laziness hahaha

how do people survive on such low wages? seems a shocking wage for the work involved

For anyone assigned was it call or email from Garda HR or public jobs?

And had your references already been contacted?

Scale tops out just shy of, and may now be a shade over, 40K for clerical work. Coupled with job security and a decent pension it's not a bad proposition.

Furthermore progressing to EO isn't too difficult and they top out around 50K.
