Sent an email to HRPD.vetting@garda.ie asking what's next as everything seems very quiet.

Will update when I get a response.

Mine is still awaiting review by registered organisation. Waiting game is never ending 😥

Anyone any idea what times the two 12 hour shifts start/finish at in Dublin? Like do ye think it will be 7am to 7pm or 6am to 6pm etc??

I heard from a GISC staff member that call operators are expected by September - and the wait goes on

Casper107 · 05-07-2018 03:43PM

Got 2 emails today.

1st from HR saying that this is strand 1 of 3 and can take 10 to 12 weeks to complete.

2nd email from Evetting saying that 'Disclosure Viewed' which I am assuming is the Garda HR having viewed the result. So I believe that that part is not completed unless anyone else has any ideas?

Can still see mine but I read that the viewing option expires after a period of time once viewed by the requesting organisation....I think i read that somewhere....

Crikey that’s slow

Casper107 · 08-07-2018 10:11AM

Mine is still visible.

As they have begun viewing the results hopefully they will begin the next strand from Monday....here's hoping anyway

Elmworld5 · 08-07-2018 01:26PM

Mine is still ‘application waiting review’ since 25 June

I have a feeling that GISC places 'may' be being pushed first - just a guess....

I wouldn't hold my breath. I am in a different competition with far less people and it's been 6 weeks since my vetting was completed and no movement since. These things tend to take a long time, nothing you can do but wait.

Yeh I think so too Casper 107

EvianGirl · 10-07-2018 09:33AM

Here's a random but important one. Would anybody happen to know if the credit union is the same here as the overall civil service one ðŸ€”? Or is it a case that its completely different for Garda civilians? Any info be highly appreciated ðŸ‘Œ

BaronVon · 10-07-2018 10:13AM

AGS have 2 Credit Unions, separate to the wider Public Service, but only St Raphaels is open to Garda civilian employees, AFAIK.

Thanks so much for that infacteh

DeanoG14 · 10-07-2018 03:45PM

I have a question...

With the 4 days on 4 off etc., how would the average month look?

If I was to work my 4 days, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday... Is Thursday my first night off? Would I be rostered on on Monday night or Tuesday night of the following week?

My understanding - and I'm probably wrong! - is that its two days and two nights, so in your example you would be Monday 7am to 7pm, Tuesday 7 am to 7pm, Wednesday 7pm to Thursday 7 am, and Thursday 7 pm to Friday 7 am.

Friday is your first day off and you would return on Tuesday morning at 7am.

Again I could be completely wrong, but thats what I took from my interview.

That would be my understanding too. Each shift would start a day later every week.

Is it looking like a 7-7 12 hour shift?

Yeah I think so, I originally thought it was 8, but I asked at the interview and my interviewer said 7.

DeanoG14 · 11-07-2018 02:19PM

Thanks for the help guys! Got another job offer, so every detail became very important.

Two days followed by two nights sounds pretty good. I was under the impression that I'd have to go four days without seeing the little ones. Glad that's not the case.

I'm in a similar position been offered a job similar money except its monday-friday.. Its government funded but not civil service so thinking ahead I dont know which is the more secure option..

Cedric87 · 12-07-2018 08:42PM

i currently work for a company funded by the government and i can say that both jobs are equally secure, shift work takes its toll but the allowance makes the pay very good. i you get a job that is not shift and still similar pay i would take the non shift job, thats just me. unfortunately i am withdrawing my application as im moving to England.
