The Dublin one is due to expire August so they may be running a new one for the whole country instead of two separate ones similar to how they ran the CO competition this time. I know my county did start interviews until November so panel wasn’t in place until that point so it’s less than 6 months old now. They had been using previous panel (2016) until that point. It’s not a small county and does have movement so a lot of people would have had a reasonable chance of being placed and will have had the expense of two trips to Dublin for a panel lasting less than a year.

So regional candidates shortchanged again. Complete waste of time and effort. Panel will run for only 15 months at that rate.
I think they see a recruitment embargo coming. Might explain why the 2020 clerical campaign was advertised as a 1 year panel. Think im done with PAS
Must be the shortest EO campaign ever. And with Covid and all, grossly unfair to candidates.

Pas are not subject to interference from T.D.’S so not much point. They can end panels whenever they wish and they could easily argue that advertising in Jan 2019 and closing in Sept 2020 is fair. Obviously any of us waiting will feel different but they do use old panels whilst awaiting the creation of the next so could easily be recruiting from this until Christmas.
Well that just takes the biscuit. I don't know whether to cry or get angry. :mad:
Not for Clare though right?
