I emailed them on Monday. So it's pretty slow moving.

I see, it’s true in comparison with some of the others it seems. Thanks for your reply ðŸ‘ðŸ¼

I'm starting in dept. of agriculture at end of month.
Can any one advice me on dress code for male?.
Could I be working from home ?
What are Christmas holidays and will I get paid for them after working a short period of time?

What’s the next step after submitting your vetting invitation and references and how long does that take? I sent them in over a week ago and haven’t had any response yet.

I’m supposed to be starting my role at the end of the month but I don’t want to hand in my notice until I signed a contract.

Really depends on the section within the Department, but I would go with smart casual at the start. Again, depending on the section, you may or may not be working from home. I work in DAFM and have been working from home since April. There are no set Christmas holidays as all offices will be open for business. We work Christmas Eve and back in again on the 27th.

Best of luck, it’s a great Department to work in

COs is our place wear anything from jeans and a jumper to one who is suited and booted. I'd suggest shirt and tie on the first day, you can always take the tie off but only get one go at a first impression.

Historically, what dress code have CO's who got promoted followed?

As a general rule, dress for the job you want, not the one you have.

Hi Katieee323; I sent my paperwork to the email address which sent me the blank documents.

Have not received the link for Garda e-vetting yet though.

Got my email yesterday, it had the following forms attached - all gone back now,

• Garda Vetting - declaration.
• Declaration Document
• Scanned Documents
• Reference

Also asked whether I was in receipt of a social welfare payment, which I wasn't, seems a bit strange.

A friend got their Email yesterday also with same forms.
They were Batch 14 number 23 if that's any help to people waiting.
There wasn't anything on the email to say where to send the forms so just replied to sender.
Had to send a few separate emails as the attachments were too big to send in one email.

Re social welfare question - Friend is on Pandemic payment so put that in the email.
Didn't see a reason to not say it as the email specifically asks if on any social welfare payments.

Hope that's helpful to anyone waiting.

Going by people I know who already work in the CS, I think you just get Christmas Day, St. Stephen's Day, and New Year's Day off.

Hi anyone know how security clearance works and if/how this is likely to be affected by residence abroad? I lived for 4 of the past 5 years in Asia but have ample evidence of my time there with a reputable employer etc

I'm wondering the same. I spent some years in Australia but wasn't ask to get Police clearance for there. Wondering if this was an oversight on their part (not to ask for it) or do we only require Gardai clearance?

My 3 years in the UK seemed to have no impact on my security clearance whatsoever. I can't speak for living in Asia, though, but I imagine they'll be in touch if there are any issues. The Garda vetting asks for a full history of your places of residence.

Hi and congrats! I'm in 30s of batch 3..

I know up to at least 50 in batch 2 are starting in the next two weeks.

All depends on how many is in each batch:)

Hi
I checked with Revenue today and asked if they could tell me where they were in allocating positions on the panel 're Customs Officer positions?
They responded and said they were half way through Batch 3 (they did not indicate how many were in Batch 3). They just said they would be in touch when they got to my OOM in Batch 4 which looks like will be another few weeks at least.

Hi all, I’ve just started a CO role in DEASP and got my first pay check! How does the pension scheme work because I received €348 and was expecting closer to €395! Thanks

€348 doesn't sound right.

Single person with standard tax credits etc should be around the €403 mark.

Did you view your payslip? Pension isn't that amount anyway.

Are you on a week 1 or cumulative tax basis? Log into myAccount on Revenue.ie and review your details.

Year 1 Current Rate Gross is €471.20.

You serious ....that cant be right ...

newbie18892

Has anyone interviewed recently for Dublin? Seems like they're getting close to my OOM so I'm wondering how quickly they're getting through the list.

Is this a 1 or 2 year panel ? Hopefully things might get back to normal next year

1 year panel.

Many civil servants won't be back in an office until middle of next year if even.

Training is the big problem at the moment with social distance in play.
