If you are very anxious to know you should call Corporate Services Division. They could possibly tell you when we might hear.

I am not anxious to know I would just like to know is all

I don't think contacting them is going to hurry it along. In fairness I think this campaign has actually moved relatively quickly. I applied for another role around the same time and it hasn't even been shortlisted yet.

Ok, well your recent posts give a different impression. It certainly wouldn't hurry it along but they may tell you when you could expect to hear. Just a suggestion is all. Best of luck in the other competition.

Is that national panel they are giving results for, or does it refer to regional placings I wonder....PAS tend to do the regional panels now

Emma2019 · 29-07-2019 3:18pm

How many roles are tgere in Audit and compliance does anyone know? I'm thinking my panel placing is too far down the list to actually mean a job

AM2019 · 29-07-2019 3:33pm

I was wondering the same. I emailed to ask and was informed it gets passed to assignments section who will be in touch as vacancies arise so its just a waiting game now.

paydembills · 29-07-2019 3:39pm

I got through on both Tax and Audit panels. Delighted. Congrats to everyone who did and commiserations to those who didn't. There will always be another competition.

Congratulations! I am on both panels also but was wondering what happens next. Not sure whether to mention it in work yet or wait until I (hopefully) get called.

paydembills · 29-07-2019 4:39pm

I think there is an existing panel so we could all be waiting a while. Anyone with any idea how big these panels are?

Last year's panel expires today, from memory 57 were panelled for Audit panel and 35 for policy.

Emma2019 · 29-07-2019 9:14pm

And how many were placed? Or is that saying all were placed but it took them a year?

I'm not very up on the civil service inner workings!

Not 100%!! I know the Audit panel had maybe 25+ placed and the Policy panel was nearly exhausted.

ThumbTaxed · 30-07-2019 7:35am

All depends where you want.

You may as well be 500th if you want, say, Dundalk and there are 1 ahead of you.

Equally it is better to be 30th overall and want Dundalf if no one else ahead of you does want that location.

paydembills · 30-07-2019 2:21pm

I'm assuming that the vast majority of the jobs will be as usual in Dublin. Is RLS (and the Policy jobs) still wholly Dublin based or has it been spread out in the restructure?

Spread out but mainly Dublin...at present.

NEWMILLER12 · 20-08-2019 2:28pm

Hi

Does anyone have any updates or did anyone contact the recruitment section to see how this panel develops?

Emma2019 · 28-08-2019 11:46am

I was wondering are you actually allowed to just call them periodically and be like "what number are you on now?"

nazzy · 28-08-2019 12:05pm

Hi Emma, you can. It has been difficult to get responses at times, but you can certainly try!

I emailed to get my regional panel placings a fortnight ago and got zero response

Hi

I have sent in a couple of enquiries about placings and received nothing back either.

JF1970 · 05-09-2019 4:50pm

Also went for this and on both panels. Put down regional location so unsure if there is any chance of hearing anything.

BMHOPE · 05-09-2019 5:37pm

Same here got through on both panels but nada since, emailed the panel placings a number of times and am not even sure if that is the correct address, to make it worse can't even remember if it was two or three counties. I think it was three, very frustrating as panel only last a year and five weeks of that gone. Think I am too far down the list on both. Early 20's but only have regional locations down. But on the plus side we made the panel, first time on AP panel.

BMHOPE · 12-09-2019 10:47am

This thread is very quite, but just wanted to let ye know, I followed up on placings by county and was given them over the phone. Now wondering was there much movement on the limerick panel last year.

Was given the placing for three counties, in top 6 for all on both panels but tax legislation not applicable in all counties.

JF1970 · 16-09-2019 10:10am

When you say top 6 is that on the national or by county?

Who do you ring to get any info? I am low teens for both on national panel, but picked 3 regional counties.

JF1970 · 16-09-2019 10:12am

Also do you know which counties tax legislation is applicable

JP7782 · 24-09-2019 5:33pm

Hi

Does anyone know if anybody has been offered a position from the panel created at the end of July 2019?

Emma2019 · 27-09-2019 12:03pm

Does the panel last one year or two? I don't remember seeing it noted specifically anywhere but I may have just missed it.

JF1970 · 27-09-2019 1:19pm

I believe it lasts 1 year.

BMHOPE · 29-09-2019 7:24pm

I was top 6 in county but not country, tax specialist roles I am not sure but think maybe dublin and Limerick but could be Tipperary depending on brexit. Did they email the placing as I got them the other day.

JF1970 · 04-10-2019 4:18pm

I was looking at the Revenue annual report. I think they recruited around 35 AP in 2018. I assume the vast majority were Dublin. I suppose Limerick must be one of the next largest areas.

JF1970 · 05-11-2019 11:29am

Any one hear of any movement on the panel?

BMHOPE · 05-11-2019 8:34pm

Not a word, must email panel placings again to see if there is any movement 4 months in. If nothing else it might remind them of this panel.

Did that specify if they were all from an external panel or does that 35 include internal and interdepartmental appointments aswell??

JF1970 · 06-11-2019 3:06pm

No there was no split between internal and Open assume the number includes both.

Will also contact panel placing again and see if anything happening. Of the 3 location I choose none are Dublin so not very hopeful

ThumbTaxed · 06-11-2019 4:06pm

Surely this panel is dead now given more than 1 year has passed and there is a 2019 panel (which is surprising quiet)

BMHOPE · 06-11-2019 10:46pm

It is the 2019 panel that we are talking about, the other expired in July but as there was a cross over between panels and this thread is quite we continued it.

I emailed panel placings but no answer back, it usually takes a month.

JF1970 · 07-11-2019 2:42pm

yes the panel that started late july 19, we are referring too. Was hoping there would be some movement but seems very quiet.

ThumbTaxed · 07-11-2019 3:27pm

Am 6th and 9th on those panels and didn't get 1 offer which is so unusual. Don't exactly care much but...

JF1970 · 07-11-2019 4:17pm

Was Dublin one of your choices? I would have taught that they would get to 6th in Dublin pretty quick?

Did we put choices down. I don't remember doing that.

JF1970 · 08-11-2019 11:09am

yes we had 3 choice of regions to make. I presume if you select Dublin your chances are much increased.

BMHOPE · 08-11-2019 7:35pm

I got reply from panel placings very quickly this time, Tipperary and Limerick have moved by one place.

JF1970 · 11-11-2019 12:33pm

Great news at least there is some movement...

BMHOPE · 19-02-2020 10:11pm

No movement since, so only moved by one place since last July. Fingers crossed that a few will be offered soon. Did anyone else hear anything on AP placings the interdepartmental comps seem to be the best to get placed off as most movement from what I hear.

Still there is hope .... even if it is fading slightly.

It's supposed to rotate fairly between panels so in theory there shouldn't be any "better" panel to be on. All depends which panel's turn it is in the location you prefer. If you're hoping for outside Dublin then you are probably a bit more at the mercy of which panel is next as the positions just don't arise that often. I wonder if, because this role was specifically a "tax specialist" role can they bypass Inter-D or internal panels if the panellists don't have the necessary taxes knowledge or experience??

Another 4-5 months until this panel expires anyway, so you're in with a shout. My dismal placing means I'm a cert to go through the whole process again when it starts in the Spring, oh joy!!

BMHOPE · 21-02-2020 11:21pm

Sprites, I would say that I will be joining you, but it's all experience or so I tell myself every time I put myself forward for the process. ðŸ˜ hopefully next time for both of us. ðŸ˜‰
