    Any idea of Limerick and Tipp numbers for interview stages. Beginning to think by the time they reach me they will be opening a new panel and I'll have to apply again.

    I'm in Dublin and got an email yesterday to fill out the form for an interview. Roughly how long till interview after this and then till they advise a position if you pass (general time frame) thank you!

    Was told I passed interview on a Friday for the EO panel. My OOM was under 10. Received an email the following Monday advising me that they had a position for me. It may take longer depending on OOM; but I imagine the timing would be quicker as they seem to be taking more COs than EOs.

    I'm torn over what to do I currently work in private sector construction and a job in civil service would nearly be a 50%drop in wage .but can't do construction forever

    Hi guys.


    Just wondering where in Dublin are people being offered positions?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7 ccp26

    Hi ccp26,

    Revenue sounds good, are you staring in Waterford or Kilkenny.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 46 ✭✭Saulgudman


    Had interview during the week. Must say I found the format a bit strange compared to interviews I completed in the past for private sector. Interview panel were very nice but I felt a bit rushed at times when detailing my examples. Fingers crossed I passed it but wouldn't be too confident. Anyway it was good experience for future campaigns.

    I'm sure you did great!

    The interview panel have a time frame that they stick to quite rigidly. I found it good as the replies were quick and to the point, they weren't looking at me to expand too much, and I didn't waffle on and get myself all in a fluster.

    Hi Everyone, just wondering if anyone knows where they are at with calling people from the Dublin panel? I am in batch 27 and OOM 49 :-)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 143 ✭✭Itchyfeet89


    Anyone on the CO Irish panel get a message with Order of merit ?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 104 ✭✭LittleBoBeep


    Anyone get results for Offaly interviews today or know what batch they are on at the moment? I had my interview last week, waiting on results



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,208 ✭✭✭cw67irl


    Would anyone happen to have a copy of the information booklet for this competition?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7 Ja50n


    Any estimate on how long the background check takes after all documents are submitted?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 52 ✭✭DarkJ




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16 Polly50


    Just got email on Tuesday to submit my Garda clearance form, photo ID and self declaration form. Looks like things are moving :-)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4 gooseyloosey


    Can I ask if you got results yet. I had my interview for Offaly last Monday. Heard nothing yet.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 104 ✭✭LittleBoBeep


    Yeah I did. Got my results the Monday evening. I placed in Batch 7 top 5 so I'm thrilled. I contacted them and they said they are working on batch 6 still. Best of luck with yours

    Yes, all completed. Congrats on Revenue post, I'd say that will be interesting :)

    anyone know if you have a criminal record will it come up in the Garda Vetting ?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 986 ✭✭✭furrybones


    I'm open to correction but I believe vetting disclosures do include all details of a criminal record. District Court convictions over 7 years old for specific minor offences will not be included in vetting disclosures - unless the position to be filled is with AGS or the Courts.

    hi furrybones

    thanks for the reply , a few years ago i was arrested for hitting a Bouncer , i was in court and i had to pay a 1000 euro fine which i paid , i admitted it was my Fault , this is my only arrest (im aged 41 ) would this show up ? also i have no leaving cert (im 41)

    If anyone is looking for an update I was number 36 in batch 26 for Dublin. I was offered the valuation office. Garda vetting took about a week and a half once that was cleared I was offered my placement within a day.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 986 ✭✭✭furrybones


    Hi Killio,

    Some minor offences become spent after 7 years and are not included in the vetting disclosure, however they must be disclosed for employment purposes when it concern AGS, the Courts, and some Gov't departments. So even if they are not disclosed through the vetting procedure you must disclose them.

    Spent convictions include convictions in the District Court for minor public order offences and a single conviction other than a motoring or public order offence in the District Court which resulted in a fine or a prison term not exceeding of 12 months. Convictions under the Non-Fatal Offences against the Person will not become spent and will always be disclosed.

    I would suggest contacting Citizen's Information, or even your local Gardaí, to discuss the specifics of your conviction and how it will affect employment prospects within the public sector.

    Hi Guys,

    I am looking for some guidance please.

    Thankfully I have been offered a position based in Dublin as a CO in Customs.


    Unfortunately I live a good distance away and financially it would be a challenge to say the least, I have deferred the 1st offer to be placed on the list for the next training date , TBA.

    I would really like the opportunity to take this position possibly closer to home.

    Can anyone advise me on the best way of achieving this.

    As I really want this particular job.

    Any help or guidance would be great


    many thanks
