Last week I got notification that I got placed in the Cbar CO and as a result I was then informed to send off the evetting forms to the gardai etc.
it seems this Garda clearance has now been completed and send back to PAS ...but the PAS didn’t notify which Cbar dept / office I would be in. Would it be cheeky to ask them or should I just sit out and wait. Anyone know how long it takes from now on etc thanks in advance

If you're offered a job do you know the location and if it doesn't suit and you refuse are you out of the process altogether.on a side note can't believe you get such short notice for interview and testing zoom. Had some serious rejigging to do but all good now.

As far as I'm aware you are out of the running

When do placements off this panel end ? or do we have any idea yet ?

I was told by PAS today it ends next May but not set in stone. Assume that means it could be extended but candidates will be informed prior to closure

If you are outside 45km travel zone, you can defer and remain on the panel at the same OOM. I'm in that boat, still trying to decide what to do. Otherwise, if you refuse, you are out for that county.

So you will be told location?

Offered AGS, will that be a min of 16 weeks before i start then with garda clearance.

Whats involved with that, that it takes so much longer than normal?

What's AGS like? Was really hoping for a diff dept, but tbh just happy to get the foot in.

AGS = An Garda Siochana

Up to 556 on Dublin panel for anyone wondering. Are they actually placing anyone in posts? Currently a TCO in DEASP. Contract finishing up shortly. Has anyone had contract extended?

Submitted all my docs to the clearance team last week and was told I'd get a link about garda e-vetting very soon. No link 9 days later

So I have my interview coming up. I'm currently in the first year of a 4 year part time degree and i have 2 days of lectures a month which is on a Friday and a Saturday. I have 6 months of these lectures plus xmas and summer exams so I'd probably need 8 Fridays off a year.

I'd plan to take holidays to cover these days but would it worth saying it to anyone in the interview and will I wait and see if I get the job first?

It won't make a difference in the interview and will make no difference when you land. Your assigned department will either accommodate or they won't. I wouldn't mention it as the only possible outcome from it is a possible unconscious bias against you. By all means mention you're doing a PT degree that won't impinge on your work, especially as you'll be asked about self development.

You'll more than likely get the exams off paid in addition to your annual leave. Happy days.

Thanks guys, had enough hassle with my current employer trying to get it off so not looking forward trying to get it off again if I get the job.

I know the clerical officer pay scale starts at 24,586 (471.20) but does anyone know the actual take home pay after tax/pension contribution etc?
