    Hi everyone. Just sent in my supplementary application form today for county Meath.

    I lived in Spain for 9 years and am wondering if anyone needed any type of police clearance from abroad or if Garda vetting suffices? (This is all hypothetical providing I pass the interview and am offered a position!)

    Yes I needed vetting from both Ireland and the UK as I lived there for over a year

    How long is the wait from the clearance stage to starting a position generally? Many thanks in advance.

    For those who were already reached on the panel, how long after the supplementary form is completed do you get an interview date.[/


    Hi, I returned the application form on the Friday and had a message with the date the following Wednesday. Hope this helps.


    Thanks. Im in the 90s for Cork, wasnt sure if they would reach me. So better start preparing

    Apply for the Spanish clearance now. You'll need it sometime or other.

    You’ll do fine, know/remember what’s on your application form and examples of the Clerical Officer competencies in the booklet. Cork is moving, my advice would tip away at prep and you’ll fly it. Best of luck!

    I was asked for references a week ago and just talked to my manager today and nobody has been in contact with her yet, anyone know how long it usually takes to contact your referee? I emailed the woman dealing with my clearance twice but neither have been answered...

    Just been called for reference checks, vetting etc in Dublin. Absolutely delighted.

    Just have one question if anyone here can help out. The attached forms ask for details of a current employer, however I have been out of work since just before this panel began. Is it okay to include details of my most recent employer instead and just add a note to the form explaining? Has anyone been in a similar situation?

    Does anyone know if AGS is Mon - Fri or is it shifts, evenings weekends etc. The job description talks about 8 10 12 and 24 shifts?

    I started beginning January in AGS, no evening or weekends. Don't know of any clerical staff in AGS that work any shift work. Doubt it exists. Best of luck. Very nice place to work.

    If you are at a certain increment in the public service/hospital, can you bring your increment with you into the civil service?

    I think so. I’m in the same situation. My deadline for submitting the detailed application was this morning so I’m hoping I hear soon about an interview.

    Which county are you? I’m Meath

    I got a request to fill in application form for stage 2 cork. If I decide not to submit now does it in any way affect me applying to future campaigns?

    Won't affect you at all. People drop out of these campaigns all the time. Circumstances change and that can't and won't bar you from applying to open campaigns in the future. I got to job offer stage once in civil service and turned it down because the location and role didn't suit me. Two years later and I'm in a different civil service role that I love.

    Also keep in mind these things can take a while, so staying in now (if you can) may give you back up options later in the year (not sure what the speed of the panel is in cork from stage 2 to job).

    You need to apply for a clerical officer competition. There's none open for application right now but sign up on public jobs and add a few jobs to the job alerts so you'll get email notifications. There are also some other clerical jobs advertised on the public jobs site.

    Submitted mine last Thursday, done today. They've really gotten fast with vetting compared to a few years ago.

    I've only had one address and have zero court/conviction issues though, so anything like that obviously will add to the time.

    So currently about ready to flip the table. I am just seeing I was emailed on Friday 19th to fill out the application for the next step and it went to my Spam folder and I've no missed the deadline. Is it worth emailing and seeing if I can still be considered?

    I would email and fight your case.

    Did you not get a text message also? They always send a text along as email. Well I always got texts to tell me to log into my public jobs profile to view a message.

    Th standard Garda Vetting moves very fast.

    It's the extra vetting for AGS that holds it all up.
