If you are asked for references for AGS does that mean they have finished the enhanced vetting?

They have called upto OOM 38 for Limerick so far and they said the competition is due to close May 2021, if/when the campaign is closed all candidates will.be notified through message board....

When you say competition closing do you mean people on OOM for jobs will be discarded or only people that are going for interview?

Once a competition closes then anyone not already placed is discarded I'm afraid. You have to reapply. If you're waiting on clearance for AGS for example, that's different.

Does anyone have an update on batch 6 for Customs CO in Dublin please. I did e-mail Revenue a couple of weeks ago and the were at OOM 57. I am OOM mid 60's so hoping to be called.

I never get anywhere off these panels and was told that it would be easier to get in to the civil service by applying to Dublin and then after a few years to ask for a transfer home.

Unfortunately, that’s true. I’ve been next in line for a CO position in county Meath now for over a month but none has come up.

Dublín was my second county and my original OOM was late 100s. I’m sure I would be in a job a few months by now had I continued on the Dublín panel as they are now interviewing in the 1000s. Unfortunately, we had to move out of Dublín this time last year due to my work hours being halved because of the pandemic and we were no longer able to justify paying €1,600 in rent so working there was no longer feasible.

This. Dublin takes hundreds off a panel. Meath probably take about 3. I'm exaggerating but it's much, much easier to get in on the Dublin panels. You can apply for mobility on day 1 and after 2 years you can move when they get to your position on the list.

We've COs in my place coming from Wexford.

This is true. A good chunk of the civil service is Dublin and the rest of it is scattered throughout the other 25 counties. Most counties would have a welfare office or two, a courthouse, garda civilians in stations and probably not a whole lot more than that.

The very fact people transfer from Dublin means more places in Dublin and less open places in regions

Any updates on Rosslare?

Does anyone know the dress code for AGS in headquarters?

Hey,

Just wondering if anyone can advise i received a message from pas to say I had the job and which dept. I would be in. That was 2 weeks ago. They said someone from the dept would be in touch. My vetting is complete the past 2 weeks too. Just wondering if this is standard, or should I be following it up?? Thanks

I got the call from HR in the department the day after my vetting was done so I would maybe follow up if I were you

Thanks for the reply. I'll follow it up.

Garda dress code has a picture of a lad in a shirt and tie as the example but jeans are on the acceptable list. COs in my place would be anything from a suit to jeans and a sweatshirt. Branded stuff wouldn't be ideal but black jeans and a shirt would be fine.

Edit just assumed you're a lad for some reason.

Same as anywhere: dress for the job you want, not the one you have!

Any update from the Kerry panel

My sister's version of this, where she worked, in theory there was a casual dress code but if an individual wanted to get promoted they didn't come to work in casual clothes.

I dressed up as Captain Kirk but the Chief wasn't impressed so I went back to a shirt and tie.

It also helps your colleagues identify the crazies in the team:-)

Any idea if they have started Batch 22 in Dublin yet?

frankienonose

Hypothetically speaking, if someone was in office a couple of days a week and working from home for the rest, would it be feasible to live somewhere else in the country and just come up to Dublin for the necessary days?
