Does anyone know if CIE bar former employees from applying for CIE jobs again?

enterprise

I very much doubt it as it would be a form of discrimination!

lots of companies bar former employees who for example took redundancy from working for the company ever again or for a set period

No
but it would depend on the circumstances underwhich you left originally
but if you left on good terms should be no problem

Employment in CIE.

Now there's a choice of words.
Notice carefully there's absolutely no mention of WORK.

Normally, after redundancy, there is a period of X amount of time that the employer can't re-hire you for (otherwise why make the employee redundant in the first place) - but when that is over, they can do so. Someone once told me this was 6 month, but I'm sure someone will correct that.

different companies have different rules

IBM for example will not reemploy anyone who takes redundancy ever

There's a flaw in that statement. Namely, the fact that a certain amount of work goes into putting buses and trains on the road. That's before you've even got anybody to drive them, which incidentally is also work

Unless you're lucky enough to be employed at weekends in the DART stations that are shutdown for refurbishment. Correct me if I'm wrong but don't employees get paid for that time regardless of the fact they've nothing to do? Anything else would have the unions in a bloody frenzy.

As to the original question, I certainly believe it's possible if you think redundancy to be barred. Certainly there was a period in my previous company, post redundancy, during which they'd not look at you. After all you may have received a significant sum, so it'd be cheeky to join up again after a few weeks.

Not as cheeky as the company making people redundant and then re-hiring a few weeks after ffs.
