Hi anyone know how security clearance works and if/how this is likely to be affected by residence abroad? I lived for 4 of the past 5 years in Asia but have ample evidence of my time there with a reputable employer etc

I'm wondering the same. I spent some years in Australia but wasn't ask to get Police clearance for there. Wondering if this was an oversight on their part (not to ask for it) or do we only require Gardai clearance?

My 3 years in the UK seemed to have no impact on my security clearance whatsoever. I can't speak for living in Asia, though, but I imagine they'll be in touch if there are any issues. The Garda vetting asks for a full history of your places of residence.

Hi and congrats! I'm in 30s of batch 3..

I know up to at least 50 in batch 2 are starting in the next two weeks.

All depends on how many is in each batch:)

Hi
I checked with Revenue today and asked if they could tell me where they were in allocating positions on the panel 're Customs Officer positions?
They responded and said they were half way through Batch 3 (they did not indicate how many were in Batch 3). They just said they would be in touch when they got to my OOM in Batch 4 which looks like will be another few weeks at least.

Hi all, I’ve just started a CO role in DEASP and got my first pay check! How does the pension scheme work because I received €348 and was expecting closer to €395! Thanks

€348 doesn't sound right.

Single person with standard tax credits etc should be around the €403 mark.

Did you view your payslip? Pension isn't that amount anyway.

Are you on a week 1 or cumulative tax basis? Log into myAccount on Revenue.ie and review your details.

Year 1 Current Rate Gross is €471.20.

Does anyone know what batch number they’re on for Dublin? I’m batch 15.

Red Honeysuckle · 07-11-2020 01:19PM

Any update on Limerick? Or Tipperary? Are they moving at all?

Has anyone interviewed recently for Dublin? Seems like they're getting close to my OOM so I'm wondering how quickly they're getting through the list.

Is this a 1 or 2 year panel ? Hopefully things might get back to normal next year

1 year panel.

Many civil servants won't be back in an office until middle of next year if even.

Training is the big problem at the moment with social distance in play.

Got my email yesterday, it had the following forms attached - all gone back now,
Garda Vetting - declaration.

Declaration Document

Scanned Documents

Reference

Also asked whether I was in receipt of a social welfare payment, which I wasn't, seems a bit strange.

Thanks for this. Did you receive a confirmation email when they received your documents

GeorgeVictor · 09-11-2020 12:31PM

Does anyone from batch 15 in Dublin already have the email requesting follow up documentation and or department and start date?

Hi,

I was OOM 16 in batch 14 and submitted my paperwork a week ago.

I haven't heard anything regarding what type of role I could be placed in.

abbeybella · 09-11-2020 02:52PM

Usually one day before your interview is your zoom trial. They will send by email / board (publicjobs)

You dont have to say but what is your OOM? Any idea what they are up to on the OOM?

In my case I received the notification on my portal for the zoom trial two days before the test but I’m sure it varies to the different time slots available (my trial was on a Friday and my interview was on the following Tuesday). I’m sure they will give you a time slot shortly, it only takes two minutes.

heffo1 · 09-11-2020 08:11PM

Anyone have any idea of what OOM the panel is for Galway?

I'm in the 1100's and heard someone here say they are around 1000 and have an interview soon

Good news, I've been reached on the Customs Officer panel, and have confirmed my interest in following it up. I'm now required to submit a declaration of health, a vetting form and at least two references by Thursday. I'm a bit mixed up on the latter part though - it says written references; do they mean simply confirmation of current / previous employment or more detailed character references, or just names? I can get them all, but my only concern is that written references from my previous employers might not be completed on time.

If you supply the names and contact details of your references, Public jobs contact them. No need to supply actual written character references.

Thanks, you're absolutely certain of this? Because the email I received is from Revenue themselves, not Public Jobs. I could alternatively confirm with themselves, but just wanted to see what other people here had provided.

I'm down for customs too and I sent written references in but they weren't character references. It was just a letter from my employers confirming the dates I worked there and the role I worked in. I'd imagine you do need to supply written references but what I sent was fine, so that should be easy enough for you to get rather than asking them to write a character reference for you.
