Hi All, just an update which might be of use to some people. I interviewed last July and was placed last November in my 2nd county (Kildare).

Just got "interview" results for my 1st (Offaly) this week and placed in a batch. So I guess they are still calling for some counties and there's still hope

Hi well done on placing in Offaly if you don’t mind me asking what is your oom?

Whollywoo

Does anyone know anything about how many have been placed in laois/offaly - i contacted PAS but they were very vague!

Anyone on the Irish language EO panel? It's very slow to move. I was promoted to EO last year and while I loved the he Co work, I'm not enjoying the EO role and function so looking for a move. Very mentally draining

Hi all, does anyone have an update on Wexford panel by any chance? Or a number/email that Pas have answered recently? Have tried phone and emailing the person named on the comp booklet but no luck (I know that person may have moved on now) Many thanks &#55357;&#56842;

Yeah...emailed PAS, but no movement in Cork at all. Still at batch 1, oom 52. Have written off 2020 campaign, as I did far worse.

Those of you that have been appointed EO in Dublin; what departments have you been assigned to?

EO2019

Pas told me they are still calling from this panel in my county but I haven’t been able to get an oom. I think they weee mostly stuck on the Dublin panels so they might clear the people who’ve done etrays in each county on this panel before they move to start etrays in other counties on the 2020 panel.

fergald

If the 2020 etray is only happening for Dublin and not regional (only regional when positions are available). Does this mean the this panel will not close for this competition until panel is formed for 2020 regional places and in theory the competition could run its full 2 years.

It was very pressured and I felt it difficult to get to the crux of my answer, before they asked me a different question. So a few times I felt I unsatisfactorily answered the question. I prepared examples for the competencies, but the way they asked the questions meant it was a challenge trying to get my examples across.

If they cut you off they usually have enough of an answer, they'd probe you if you weren't giving them what they needed.

I am still in with a shout on the OOM for Galway for this campaign. It has not been closed yet. They will close it when the 2020 panel is formed, I was told

heffo1

Does anyone have any info on OOM for Galway for this campaign or has it definitely closed since September?

I had my interview the Wednesday before last - it was very tough, but the interviewers were pleaseant. I felt like I didn't really do myself justice and I was so glad when it was over!

Just got my results from PAS and I feel a bit deflated, because although I passed, I am oom 7, so I'm not very optimistic about being offered a job before the end of the panel. It's so frustrating, I know that I would be a good fit for an EO job and vice versa, but the interview was a killer!

Considering how overwhelmed DSP are at the minute, have they thrown you in at the deep end or have you been trained up on your role sufficiently?

Unfortunately not! It's been slow enough, to be honest, I've learned a lot and I have been given some specific responsibilities but it's quite limited. I know there is a more substantial role coming but it hasn't happened yet.

You can only defer on distance on regional panels not Dublin panels

Ah ok that would make sense, Thanks for the info

Can i ask if your offer was in the county you live in?

Im currently working in Dublin, Living in Louth. I was offered a placement a Dublin based department (pretty hard to get to as its well south of the Liffey)

When i explained the difficulties of the commute I was told that the offer I received was the only offer I would receive.

I live in Wicklow, work in Dublin and the new position is in Wicklow.

Was that the notification on your message board of you being placed or the email from the dept you got assigned to?

Also were you on an open or Interdepartmental stream?

It was an email from Pas to my personal email address stating they have reached my place and this was the offer. They specifically stated that I could defer due to the position being more than 45km from my home address.

I am in the open stream.

I was told by PAS that an offer could not be deferred. I received an unsuitable placement last month and asked about deferring it. I was told that only one offer would be made and there was no option of deferring it. If i didnt move to the dept at that time that was it. As a result I didnt end up taking the position. Just something to check up on.

I started about 5 weeks ago in DSP, my position is also 45Km but I chose not to defer as there seemed little enough movement in my other county.

The Dept is ok, I work in a relatively small section, about 35 people - half of whom are working remotely. I'm still only settling in so it's hard to give a full picture.

Considering how overwhelmed DSP are at the minute, have they thrown you in at the deep end or have you been trained up on your role sufficiently?

When I got my offer last year; I was offered to defer it as it was over 45km from my home.
It wasn't even 45km from my home so I didn't defer it but was definitely offered it

Just got offered a position in DSP. Can anyone advise on what it is like to work for the department. I'm still to decide whether to accept or defer as it is over 45km from me. The only downside to deferring is the panel could end before another position arises.
