    Although for Dublin, or Meath County Council seems to say that General Operatives may be placed anywhere, but you'd be working under a supervisor.

    From https://www.glassdoor.ie/Interview/Dublin-City-Council-Interview-Questions-E677227.htm
    General Operative Interview

    The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Dublin City Council (Dublin, Co. Dublin).

    you are asked general questions about your CV to gauge you as a person, you will be in front of a panel made up of different sections from Dublin City Council, each interview takes about 40 minutes, neat dress is essential but you don't have to wear a suit. the interview is very informal to make you feel at ease.

    Look at the reviews; https://www.glassdoor.ie/Reviews/Dublin-City-Council-Reviews-E677227.htm - the responses are varied. Seems to say that once you're put into a location, you stay there.

    Thanks for the reply guys,im just guessing there is an actual depot/workplace where staff clock in before doing their days work.
    I was just trying to gauge what travelling would be involved if i happened to get a job.

    Anyway no big deal as i will find out during the interview,i just like to gather as much info as possible before the interview.
