    If you think this is slow then maybe the civil service isn't for you :D

    I am 5 years in tco positions at this stage. Plus several years previous permanent positions. I do not feel the need to question my commitment, dear.

    They're completely independent of each other. Movement is based on the opening of roles in each county. What *may* move things along in a number of places is people retiring after this week, when the final phase of the Public Service Stability Agreement kicks in.

    I have just finished a TCO contract and a new CO started last week, I asked her which panel she came of thinking it was the newest 2020 and was going ask her the number they are up to.

    She's from the 2018 panel..... Why is this this active 😑

    They last for two years and sometimes get extended a bit.

    They kept messing with how COs are recruited. Looks like they've gone for shorter panels but I'm almost certain the 2017 and 2018 panels were two years.

    I thought one panel was only open/valid at a time, what's the point in the 2020 panel if they're still pulling people off the panel from 2 years ago especially when the 2020 is only valid for a year??!

    Perhaps she was assigned/offered the role BEFORE the new 2020 panel started and only commenced employment now. whats the county?

    Depending on the Dept, garda vetting can take up to six months . My own took 23 weeks. So she may have been offered the role before the 2020 one even started and was awaiting clearance.

    There was, although it may have been limited to Dublin. It was in the latter part of the year and not open for very long.

    Hey if you are offered a job and it's not suitable for one reason or another, what happens if you dont take it up, would you be excluded from future panels

    That's it for the current panel but you can reapply to a new panel.

    From future ones absolutely not but you'll be removed from current one. There are exceptions, if the position involves a commute over a certain distance I'm pretty sure you will remain in contention for another/the next position. What that figure is I can't recall, 40km+ maybe, I'm not sure.

    I got an email to say I'm being considered for a position. Have to go through clearance process. There was three attachments in the email. Might be a stupid question but do I need to print the documents, fill them in and then scan them or do I just fill them in on the computer?
