I have always gotten a quick response from LargeVolumeRecruitment5@publicjobs.ie
I was contacted yesterday to say that I'm under consideration for a position but that it's more than 45kms from my home address so I can defer. If I want to take it I have until 12pm on Friday (tomorrow) to send through all documentation. Since applying for the job I've moved address so I emailed back to ask where the job is located. No response in almost 24 hours. Does anyone know of an email address that is responsive?
Can someone shed light on this...I'm not sure I understand how this can be on the OOM??
They will generally look for references from a current employer, do you have a former manager you could ask or a previous employer? If you let them know your circumstances and offer an alternative they may be accommodating.
Once references have been checked it moves fairly quickly, you'll go through clearance, sign various declarations and - all going well - receive an offer within a matter of weeks.
I was asked for current employer. My staff officer was on maternity leave at the time. So I advised them that I preferred if they wudnt contact them. They relented and accepted alternative Referees.
Etray for Laois/Offaly in August, any idea of when results will issue?
Hi all, long time follower of this thread, some great information. I have received notice that I am being considered for a position, I have a few queries if anyone could help.
1. Is there definitely a requirement to give your current employer as a reference, seems a bit mad, complicated in my instance by being on a contract role that is expiring soon. It normally would be extended but not sure they would be willing to do it now if they know I'm possibly out the door soon. I don't want to be in a position where this process could take another while and in the meantime I don't get offered a contract extension.
2. Does anyone know roughly how long it would take to start in a new role once this information has been asked for?
Thanks for any help
Well I researched all the pay circulars. Dealt directly with HEO HR contact in the Department I was joining. Got the exact salary nailed down before I would even sign the contract.
Thanks for this. I thought the same. I was a PCO but DPER said that the scales are different and I was receiving an allowance for been in a dangerous environment which, makes no sense as I saw it previously mentioned in a Dáil PQ which I quoted and so, in what other instance would this ever occur! They wouldn't put the response in writing and my department agreed I should be off scale similar to yourself but DPER disagreed. Can I ask if you did anything in particular to argue this? Thanks again for info! I'm here three years later and would be owed the difference as only recently reached a payscale more than what I was on as a PCO.
Anyone hear any movement on the Dublin Interdepartmental panel??
Colleagues of mine saying numbers 1-10 should be called nearly straight away and I’m just wondering if anyone has heard anything
Thank you I only started but was worrying I was getting left behind 😂
Correct, payroll we’re waiting on Circular from DPER before they could administer the increase.
If I remember correctly, while the increase came in on October 1st, it won't be reflected on payslips until the 28th (for fortnightly paid) and 22nd for weekly paid
Anybody currently working in the civil service noticed a pay increase?

I believe they have called up to OOM 149 to interview in the Dublin Open Competition. Fingers crossed the next batch is called soon!
Hi, I did the etray in June for Sligo and Leitrim. Interviewed at the start of July and I start in my new position on 1st November. I would have started earlier but my current department wouldn't release me.....
Ah great, fingers crossed you get word soon.
I actually only submitted my vetting application this evening, so will see how it goes the next few weeks.
i will update the thread once I hear again.
If you have any questions send me a message, this is my first time to get this far, so I am not that familiar with the whole process, but if I can help or share as I go through it, I’d be happy. ☺️
Yes, it's Longford, I'm not too far behind you in that batch then so hopefully it won't be too long before I get word. Thanks for the posts, they've been really helpful, and fingers crossed clearance moves quickly for you 🤞
Has anyone who did the E-tray in June for Sligo or Mayo got results.
Hiya, I have just checked there and I am batch 2.1.
Are you waiting on Longford?
The current campaign opened in July 2020 and I believe it's a 2 year panel.
Anyone have any idea when a new competition might be opening?

Once they've reached your number/score from the first assessment you will be invited to complete the next assessment which is a set of tasks in a simulated office environment online.
I'm not sure I just asked what are they calling for interview from the original oom I received.
What is etray?
Is that numbers reached for etray?
Congrats! Can I ask if that is just Batch 2, or 2.1? I am in 2.1 and am just wondering if there is a group to go before I might get called for clearance? Thanks!
If anyone pre interview is looking to find out where they are hiring wexford/wicklow. I emailed them and they replied as seen below
"So far we have reached up to and including place 141 on the order of merit (OOM) for Wexford and place 137 on the OOM for Wicklow"
Can anyone from Batch 1 or Batch 2 (Open Dublin Comp) who had an OOM of 200+ after their Etray give me any idea of how long it took for them to be called for interview?
I'm not sure if this helps you as I said it to you before.
You will get your results when the batch your OOM would be in for Roscommon gets theirs.
You may get called for interview for Longford before then and if you take it you will be out of the running for Roscommon
