They were on batch 16 oom in the 50s as of five days ago, not sure how much it's moved since!

Been wondering this myself, I think it's just next in line in the batch yeah

Great thank you. Do you know how many would be in a batch? Like are there different batches for different counties or how does it work ?

When you pass the interview you’re given a breakdown of your score in each of the competencies. I assume the new oom is based on the score you achieved at interview. I’ve seen people on this thread who were interviewed in the same batch as me and who’s original oom was higher than mine and oom after interview was lower and vice versa.

Thank you! Good to know

Delighted to start my Co position last week. Just got my payslip for next week and it states my net is €373 after deductions. Anyone know if this sounds right? I took a 12k paycut for this position and while it was the right one for me, I'm now worried how little I'm earning!

Sounds like your tax credits aren't right. Check that first you should be clearing over €400

Different batches for each county but no idea how many in each! Seems to be between 50-100 in Dublin

One pay scale 1 for a CO (Gross €471.20)

Say a single person with the standard tax credits should be getting just about €400 p/w. Take out union and income protection payments of a €10 p/w on top of that if signed up also.

Are you on a cumulative or a week 1 tax basis btw? Check that also. Get across onto a cumulative basis but that depends on your personal circumstances too.

Does anyone know what batch and OOM they're on for Dublin? Also when does this panel end?

Currently batch 16, oom 56 as from yesterday.

Arsenal1886 · 21-01-2021 11:03AM

Thanks. My OOM is in the 90s batch 16, what are my chances of being placed somewhere before it ends?

tritriagain · 21-01-2021 05:46PM

Working since late Nov and getting on great. I signed up for an online course on peoplepoint today but won't really get time to do it in work. I know you can do it through citrix from home but will they give me access to citrix only being there a short time.

Perez2017 · 21-01-2021 11:04PM

I know the money is rubbish starting off but all i would say to people here is take the job with revenue. Fantastic work life balance, regular hours, flexi time pre covid. Money will go up. Less stress in your working life the better. Certainly has helped my life, mental health, etc.

Tashajulia1993 · 22-01-2021 03:58PM

I was assigned to AGS a few weeks ago, I had to complete 2 rounds of vetting, 1 with PAS and then a separate one that the gaurds run themselfs. I completed both and was told the next step is for someone to contact me for a reference, it's been a week since bith vettings where cleared, doesn't anyone know how long it takes to be contacted after vetting for a reference or to be assigned to a station?

Just looking for some general feedback on possible venues for CO and TCO assignments.
Where would be the best place one could hope to be assigned to in terms of workload & quality of training for new staff, etc?

I have a good friend who was a TCO and then CO and now is an EO in Revenue and she loves it. Really enjoys her work. She has progressed really quickly through the ranks too.

Emailed PAS last week and they were up to OOM 25.

Tippman24 · 24-01-2021 03:02PM

Limerick Panel will be slow moving until the Collector Generals and Inspect of Taxes Office open up. At the moment staff are working from home mainly.

Hi, does anyone know where Dublin is post interview what batch and number. Have they moved to batch 17?. And are people still being interviewed? Thanks

If you are a current TCO and the department you are working for ask to retain you can you appeal this on the grounds that the CO panel is a separate entity and you wish to be assigned based on the natural process of the CO panel? (Hope that makes sense)

Did they not ask you first if you'd like to stay?

Do you not wish to be retained while you wait for the permanent CO panel takes its course ?

Are you saying that instead of moving to a different location and starting new as a permanent co, they want you to take up your permanent role in the same place you have been working as a tco? I remember you saying you’d been assigned to same dept as you’re in now. The dept assignment may well have been the natural process of the permanent panel but if they’ve asked to retain you that does seem to suggest that had they not, you would may got a move to a different location in the county albeit still in that dept but in a different office.

Hi all
Just wondering where do the tipperary offices be & what do they do? My friend asking and not on this forum & i dont no myself thanks very much

bangors85 · 25-01-2021 01:09PM

Just wondering what kind of questions do they ask and do they keep interview short and just look for example of each question ?j

G2234567 · 25-01-2021 05:22PM

Interview is quite fast.
Start they ask you about CV.
Question about your skills and why you applied.
Then competency question example confrontation in work place.
Finish you have a chance to add anything you like.
It wasn't to hard and they were very pleasant.
Are you interviewing for Dublin? What number where you?
Best of luck.

A few of the options in Tipp are as follows:

Revenue in Nenagh or Thurles

Agriculture, Garda Vetting, immigration, in Tipp Town

Social Welfare in the bigger towns like Clonmel, Thurles and Nenagh.
Garda Sations in most towns.

I'm sure I am missing plenty off that list too

Garda Vetting and Fixed Penalty Points units are in Thurles, both have hired recently along with the DSP office in Thurles.

Garda College in Templemore is also an option but not much happening there at present with Covid. Likewise the big offices are all as good as empty in Nenagh too.

List is endless.

Did you friend apply? Or just querying it. Very random question to ask if already on a panel and not exactly knowing where or what the job is. Don't mean to be rude!
