Any views this?

I would advise you to email PAS and ask them where you stand in the order of merit. co2020@publicjobs.ie.

Good luck.

Enhanced vetting, your email offering you the position should have stated security clearance could take up to three months to complete.

It didn't state anything, thats why I wondered. Just a regular e vetting form.

Then perhaps standard vetting will suffice, which is great as it definitely shouldn't take too long then so.

What has most people's experience been with the wait between their assignment message and the phone call with a start date?

Just over a week for me!

Does anyone know how long after they contact your reference does it take to get a start date?

My referee was contacted on a Thursday and I had my start date the following Tuesday.

You'd really need someone to chime in who has just interviewed in Dublin and find out what their OOM is in order to see where PAS is in regards to interviews.

Hey, sorry me again! Just wondering when sending scanned documents, did you send them by email to your PAS contact? Also wondering how/where you may have attached employers details for reference check. Thanks

Yep, I returned all documents (scanned to pdf) by e-mail to whoever requested them. For the reference I just typed out their details into MS Word (name, work address, title, etc.,).:)

Would anyone have an idea of how long it takes to be contacted once your Garda Vetting is done?

Does anyone know the dress code for AGS?

I've seen CO's in anything from a suit and tie to jeans and a sweat shirt. My personal advice is trousers and a shirt but jeans are part of the dress code. Not too sure about branded sweatshirts but they are worn.

Lots of filling and photocopying as you might expect. Typing up statements. You will probably be given your own 'portfolio' too such as looking after some area under the supervision of a HEO. Fleet returns, firearms admin. The job is pretty dull but the subject matter is interesting.

Correspondence takes a bit of time and is very formal and follows a definite chain of command. So you spend a fair bit of time forwarding and recording correspondence.

I think so. I’m in the same situation. My deadline for submitting the detailed application was this morning so I’m hoping I hear soon about an interview.

Which county are you? I’m Meath

Do you mind me asking what oom you are? I'm in Meath too. Thanks!

Mine was completed. In about 5 working days at End of Feb. You will get update emails to let. You know when received and completed. And I got a message confirming offer a week later

Hi,

I just got an email to say I am under consideration for a position and have to send in garda vetting forms etc.. .I am not sure where the role is based apart from city centre and have been told initially training will be in the office based on alternative days and working remotely part of the week.
I am wondering how long from when you send back these forms have people been offered a start date? Has anyone recently started who is doing this initial training in office and remotely and how does it work.

Thanks

I've seen other posters here say it can take a week from when you're assigned to when you get the phone call. I'm in the same boat as you. I got assigned last Tuesday and waiting to get a start date.

This might be a stupid question but here goes! So say Meath is on number 60 OOM at the moment. Does that mean that they have had 60 odd positions to fill so far and that they have interviewed in batches of say 10 people for each position.. Or that they have only interviewed only 60 people so far? I dont know if in making sense, I'm so confused. I am in the early 400's and it looks like there might not be much hope!

It means they've (probably) placed about 40 people so far. There are a fair few that drop out given how long it takes to get a job.

In an ideal world with no drop outs and assuming there wasn't two or more people with the same OOM at 60 means 60 people placed in jobs.

Got feedback from Revenue this morning that they are on Batch 6 OOM 57 for the Customs CO in Dublin. Hope this is of interest for those waiting like myself.

Are you applying for Dublin? I'm in batch 22 as well, oom 12! So similar to you. I have no idea about expiration either. I have no idea if that score is good or not, as I don't know how many are in that batch for Dublin.

Good luck anyway!

If anyone knows anything be sure to let me know too!

I was in batch 6 OOM54. It took about 3 weeks from me being told I had passed the interview to being told I was starting training on 19th April. I have just signed the contract and awaiting Garda clearance.

Hang in there, I think you will hear something very soon. Once you do, they are starting people really quickly. I hope that helps.

Best of luck.
