2020 Executive Officer Civil Service

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. ☺️

I believe they have called up to OOM 149 to interview in the Dublin Open Competition. Fingers crossed the next batch is called soon!

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

Thank you I only started but was worrying I was getting left behind 😂

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.

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

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.

Can someone shed light on this...I'm not sure I understand how this can be on the OOM??

I have always gotten a quick response from LargeVolumeRecruitment5@publicjobs.ie 

Hi Lads,

Had my interview on the 27th of September, got told about my OOM mid- the 50s, and got an email from clearance informing I was under consideration for a position this morning 15/10/21. I am in batch 3.1 in Dublin, hope that helps anyone looking to see how fast things progress.

I have a few questions that I hope can be answered, I was provisionally allocated to a position with the Gardaí,

What kind of work would an EO be doing with the Gardaí, is it an admin role in the park or is it possible I could be placed in a station?

Do typical civil service hours and conditions apply if I am an EO in the guards, I have a friend who is a guard himself and he said some of their admin staff do 7 am-7 pm four days on four days off. I wouldn't be eager to do so but would like to know if it would be possible, to begin with.

Has anyone had any update from the Etray that was due the 25th of August- or around that date.

It would be an admin role, could either be in the park, in a station or they have offices in Capel Street and Harcourt Square as well as Westmanstown and Ashtown Gate. There are a lot of vacancies at EO level in the guards and HR are fairly good at placing you in a location that is convenient to you. You'll be doing normal civil service hours with flexi time. Any of the shift roles you have to apply for so you needn't worry about landed into a role like that without any say.

Anyone who has started how much money do you come out with after tax deductions etc? I know it’s every 2 weeks. Thanks

There was a great post (perhaps much) earlier in the thread with some comments and details regarding interview questions, but I can't seem to find it now... anyone have a link to it?
