Did they ask about interest in Rosslare?

To quote the FAQ that I got with the invitation. Assume it's alright to share?

Where will I be based?
You will be based in either Dublin (e.g. Dublin Port, Dublin Airport or Dublin Mail Centre / Dublin Parcel Hub) or Rosslare, depending on your location selection in your original application form.

An application form was included with it, for submission before Monday but I'm not seeing any location preference on it. Assume they'll just use their common sense by checking the address of each person they add to their panel. I'd personally lean more towards Dublin Port or DMC as they're closest to me, but would give Rosslare a thought also.

A number of people on the Wexford panel got the expression of interest for Rosslare. There was a post on this about 2 pages ago.

oh, I see. I take it thats the end of the Trade Facilitation panels so.

I suppose it depends on the take up versus number of positions. The first round of interviews are in 2 weeks so if people accept that they are off the normal panel that might change the numbers. They seem to be having trouble getting people in Dublin but I’m not sure about Rosslare.

I don't mean to dash his hopes but there is no chance of 1100 CO's being recruited in Sligo

Thanks I appreciate the positivity! However, I'm joking more than anything else though. As Emmet says it's not gonna happen.. Unless you're applying to Dublin (Cork maybe as well.) you're aiming for the low-mid hundreds depending on county!

I'm in a similar position with several hundred people in front of me and things not moving. The way I read it is, until the covid thing is sorted, I ain't getting anyway near being called. However if a successful vaccine is found, be it during the life of this panel or the next, then things will move at a quick pace, as there has to be a backlog of positions left empty around the c.s where people haven't been replaced, because they cannt train in new people. So it's just have some patience, and then have some more.

That's a good way of looking at it too!

Anyone know how many of Dublin OOM have actually been officially hired? I know OOM is at 400 or so but how many have started?

I'm in batch 7 and haven't heard anything back yet so it depends on amounts in batches ...is the 400 from one batch or a few batches do you know???

I believe that's just who have been interviewed. I think the number of people hired is actually lower

Did 2 years as a CO in DSP and loved every minute of it.

No doubt about it you are on the front line and you see and deal with all sorts.

I worked in 2 different local offices and the common denominator was the staff. Great bunch of people in both places. Hard working (no sniggering please) but great crack.

A colleague in DSP worked as a TCO in PeoplePoint and said it was hellish.

I’m currently in Justice and again the people are great.

I think a lot of this is what you make of it and your efforts to get on and mingle with your colleagues.

Is it possible you could get dps and assigned a back desk somewhere or processing some scheme. Are all dps roles customer facing ?

It all depends where you are assigned to.

If you are sent to one of the offices in the city centre, COVID-19 allowing, you might be processing illness benefit or something like that.

If you are sent to one of the local offices (Finglas or Tallaght) then you will normally be rostered for customer facing duties. You might do 1 or 2 days a week. Depends on the office.

1-2 days a week ain't bad, 5 days front line wouldnt be my cup of tea. Having said that I'd prefer back room, but I'm sure others would also prefer it the other way as well.
