I did this previously in the 2018 AP (missed out by 2 points) but I also had to do the 3 other exams too so is it just the etray or a repeat of the exams amd the etray?

Very happy with my position on order of merit and hoping for an offer before too long. After over 15 years mainly spent in CS, I am absolutely delighted. Best of luck to everyone else and happy to share any further pieces of advice I have for any stage.

JulsSF2021 wrote: » Thanks so much Machalla and congrats to you too! I was surprised to see that this batch of interviews was for Kildare, Wexford, Meath and Dublin. I live in the west so only had Dublin down as a third choice. I presume there is no chance of getting called for my actual first preferences? What is the transfer process like if I wanted to get back West?

As PAS are not taking any calls and are slow to reply to emails can you tell me if and when you are appointed? Do you even know if the last batch has been exhausted?
Butterfly06 wrote: » Thank you! And huge congrats to you too..I will of course haven’t yet had a chance to talk to my own HR dept to see what, if any, my options are! Afaik they’ve called down as far as 86 so I presume they’ve brought everyone who passed forward at this stage..?? Or very close to it at least!
