Apologies, only saw this now, dev in Agric, I’ve a colleague starting the infrastructure in another Det at the end of July too.

Where were you on the panel? did you take long to process?

Does anyone know what number they are currently up to on the Infrastructure list?


I haven't heard of anyone at all starting since the panel was set up and there is no reply to emails.

Anyone ever been placed regionally off this panel?

Do any one know what is the equivalent grade of EO ICT - Is it Grade 4 or Grade 5?

Not an exact match . It's closest to Grade IV in terms of salary.
In CS theres 3 main " clerical" grades co eo heo in HSE/la there's Gr 3,4,5,6,7 with a lot more overlap in salary for example gr v is 41 to 50 approx , but heo goes up to 60ish just short of gr vii. An EO might have staff to manage , but very unlikely gr iv would.

Exec Officer in CS is equivalent to a Staff officer Grade V in local authorities/ HSE..
Grade V salary max is approx 49k EO is 47k I think.
Grade IV max is 43k.

Yes but gr v starts on 40ish and EO starts on 27. Gr iv starts on 27 too

Did any one here recently got an offer from Dublin City Council for Asst. System Officer role?

DCC: 41K / 31 holidays per year
CC: 29K / 21 holidays per year

Any adv/disadvantages in switching job from EO ICT Civil Service to Local authority?

I got a regional post in the DAFM. When I was contacted I was given the list of locations available and asked for my preferred location. I commenced post a month ago.

I’d be asking how does your civil service pension transfer over to the public service?

Just 2 months at EO ICT role in CS. So I wont worry too much about it !

Has anyone been offered a HEO position in the Dept of Agriculture, in Backweston?

What's it like?

What does the day to day job entail?

New competition for (EO ICT Specialist) closing date 18th April 2019, does that mean that the old panel is closed?

if its anything like the last competition I wouldn't bother...virtually no movement on most counties ....

Yeah sure I know. Why not cause got nowhere in 2016. But I applied and now the closing date has passed wonder how many did?

Was it advertised internally in your department, normally there's a thread on here about the competition

It was on Public Jobs for the bones of a month. I chanced on the competition just by logging onto Public Jobs myself. It was not internal it is an open competition. That is why I am really surprised that there does not seem to be much talk about it?

normally they advertise open competitions internally by email in the departments I seen nothing about it this. Do you have the booklet what to see the requirements and regions

BTW the Application Form was brutal exceptionally brutal. Did my best with it but have to wait and see. Not holding out too much hope though!
