You'll probably be going to the passport office. Most of the COs in DFA are there.

Hello has anyone an update for the Dublin panel please ?
Hello all,
just wondering if anyone had an update on the Cork panel?
thanks a million
Just the letter is all I was asked for - don't think you can request it until you hand in your notice .
Hi for anyone starting next Monday with Revenue, just wondering have you received any correspondence where we are starting etc , since contract emails etc were sent out ? Limerick area .
Hi just wondering has anyone got an update for what batch and oom for Dublin please ?
For those hoping to move from Public Service to Civil Service, are there any other documents other than 'Verification of Service Letter' that we should request from HR when leaving so as to have as much paperwork in order to make the changeover as smooth as possible.
Has anyone here been assigned to or working in DPER?
Is there only the 1 office?
Is it the usual CO tasks?
Are there options for flexi /WFH?
Took me three months to get a pension service letter from them.
Hey , yes my service is carried over although I have been trying for 3 weeks to get my verification of service letter from HSE hr - its taking forever for anyone to get back to me !
when are the dates usually for these roles ? i actually work alongside the Department of Agriculture ( warehouse operative) in dublin port ? and d you still need a leaving cert to apply i am 40 and have no leaving cert
Did anyone outside of Dublin wait longer than a month after passing the interview to hear back about a position? My new OOM is 3. I thought they were only interviewing for available positions but the email I received after the interview stated 'you are not guaranteed a job'. Hoping the competition doesn't close anytime soon.
Do clerical officer get placed in Revenue from this panel? I am on the CO panel for Louth and got an email stating Dundalk as the location - other than Social Welfare - just wondering what other departments I may be placed in? Thanks
@claregal1 can I ask did your HSE service count towards increments? I'm with a county council and am placed on the civil service panel so just wondering if my lengthy service with council will carry over?
I emailed PAS many months back asking this question. They said basically that it was due to expire in May but could be extended which is what happened. I assume they will keep this open until a new competition is announced.
Does anybody know when the 2020 panel will end? Is it up to the individual county.
TBH I'm not liking the upgrade at all. It seems to be slower to load and is not as user friendly, but we'll probably just get used to it in time.
Im not really sure how councils work either panel wise. Hopefully it will lead to a job i was told the panel is for one year but is always extended to 2 years.
Hi, I am not sure how county council panels work, the likelihood will depend on how many staff they would have at the grade you applied for, this might be something that's available online, it would give you an idea anyway. If you were placed in the 20s in the civil service panel for Clare, you would very likely be offered a job.
Hello. Excuse my ignorance on this matter as its the first time i have applied for a state job. I recently made it onto clare county council panel in the mid 20s positons. I was just wondering what are the chances i get offered a job and the time scale. Some one told me mid 20s was good? Thanks
Does anyone know if many new staff in Dublin are being offered a position outside the City centre offices?
I would assume most positions in departments with offices outside of town are being filled by mobility and established staff looking to reduce their commute, and new staff are taking their place?
Hey I started in courts in CCJ a few weeks ago. It’s a busy office environment, people are all lovely, unfortunately flexi is not available atm. Working from home is not an option either.!
Does anyone know anything about what it's like in the court services? Is there flexi time?
We will 😂
At least there's a few of us starting together, we'll have to set up a support group 🤣
Me too ! I'm currently with the HSE so finishing up today after 5 years - so looking forward to a change of work scenery! I've worked for Revenue previously for 2 years as a tco and loved every minute of it .
I'm starting on the 16th as well in Personal Division, looking forward to getting started!
Hey , I'm also starting with Personal Division in Limerick 16th August.
A friend of mine said it could be any section really or any building . She would normally work in River House but had been working from.home since onset of the pandemic. She said all training is done via Skype.
We have to work 7 hours a day in the office. Those who WFH have to work 7 hrs 24 mins. Our office allows us to work between 7am and 7pm. So i work 8am-3.30pm. This will change when flexi comes back. New staff still have option of working from home. But DSP is very slow to arrange laptops.
