    I'm having the same problem too. Good to hear I'm not the only one! I contacted the email address, with the bank holiday probably won't hear anything back until Tuesday at the earliest.

    Did anyone get the email requesting an expression of interest for an interview in Co Dublin? I just thought it was unusual because I had selected Dublin as my preferred location!

    Hi, can I ask if it was for expression of interest in customs officer posts or for general Clerical Officer?

    I think when expression of interest emails are issued they are for specific roles.....

    I think it's just general CO because I got the one for Customs a while back.

    I placed around OOM 626 for Co. Dublin (Can’t remember exact #)

    I received message in late August about the customs officer role and to attend an interview in Sept, I started with application but didn’t really bother finishing it as the role is really of no interest to me and I’ve just moved to Edinburgh. After not completing the form, I assumed I was out of the running competently for CO 2020.

    Then I receive another email this month asking if I’m still interested in positions in Co. Dublin. Yep, sure am. I replied and they came back saying I have an interview on 04/11. So because I rejected first interview offer they’re now giving me another one. Didn’t think that would happen.

    Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Ideally I’d love a position in the DFA or Dept of Justice (I worked in the Irish embassy, London for some time and loved it) but I think it may be unlikely. Thanking you in advance!

    I received the same email asking if I’m still interested in positions in Co. Dublin, however they never stated for which department etc. It was just for general CO.

    It simply means the batch you're in.

    1000 people apply. Batched in 100s, first 100 in the OOM go in to batch 1 second batch of 100 in the OOM go into batch 2 etc.

    Figures are an example only. For the avoidance of doubt batch 2 is done after batch 1 etc.

    I emailed them on this query.
    "candidates are contacted in Order of Merit (OOM) and PAS work through the batches in descending order. All candidates appointed to the panel will be made an offer.

    You placed in Batch 14 OOM ** – we have commenced clearance of Batch 14 and have reached up to OOM 10. PAS cannot provide you with an exact timeframe but your own OOM is likely be reached in the coming weeks    ."

    I didn't find find it very clear to be honest.
    So do they start at say, oom 100 and work backwards, or do they start at 1 and work on from that.

    I just heard back today from social protection, I was over two weeks waiting. It would be worth your while emailing them to see what is going on, you seem to be waiting a very long time
