Did you get assigned a place or just waiting to hear after sent off your info?
How was such a thing disclosed / discussed on a reference check?
The reference check is very thorough, i believe the form is a couple of pages long and they ask about your absences
It was worded as "you are under consideration for a position subject to a number of checks". I had to go through additional clearance and was told where I would be placed. I'm guessing next step is HR phonecall/contract. Do you know if PAS are no longer involved at this stage? Thanks.
I haven’t a clue tbh. I just got a message on public jobs to say I got the job and the Revenue will be in touch regarding start dates 😕
Hi, just a question, if you are on a panel, does an expression of interest go out like the Tusla panel for example and you chose to apply or not or if your oom is reached, are you offered a specific department. My county has one dept with a shift role, or is it the case of if offered and you don’t accept, are you off the panel. Thanks,
Hi ive just been advised im being considered for a role in a local small garda station. Can anyone advise who then are my employers is it the covil service or the garda? Basically who will i answer to ? Also what kind of work is involved ? Maybe someone who is in a small station could advise?
I’ll PM you there
With flexi time suspended, if you have meetings and end up working some overtime - does anyone know how that works? I guess it is just lost and you don't get time back?
Unless your department sanctions overtime you'll just lose the extra time you put in. You could come to some arrangement with your manager for a couple of hours off on another day but as it stands flexi is still suspended.
I dont think its right that they can ask those kind of questions would that not be against gdpr? How did. it go for you ?
Ive been sent info that im being considered for a particular garda station. I have a disability and ive googled the station looks like an old building that wouldnt be accessible to me . Can the offer be revoked once i declare my disability on the health declaration ?? Any advise from someone that required reasonable accommodation building wise!
They cannot revoke their offer based on your disability as that would be illegal, they will have to make arrangements to facilitate you whether that’s placing you in an alternative location but ultimately they are bound to look after you. Hope that helps.

Does anyone know if you can do part time like 3 days a week in AGS if you have kids
You can apply for job share but only after you have completed one years probation and there is no guarantee of approval
Thank you... that's the only way you can't go part time you would have to job share... do you know how you would apply for that..??
If you have already started look up the info on the portal, there should be all the relevant procedures there. You don't actually job share, it's just what they seem to call it
You could also use parental leave to do a shorter working week but that's also not until after one year
You could email the family friendly practices garda email for assistance too
Hi,
I’m under consideration for a position; just sent my clearance/vetting details back. Does anyone have any experience in the Cork area of how long it takes from this point to actually being assigned?
Thanks a mill!
For what position?
I was in the office when my reference got a call a couple of years ago and it was brief and to the point. Same with the 2nd reference they rang also, just the standard questions.
for the clerical officer position. They check references via email now
It’s not against gdpr if you give them permission to contact your references. It went okay for me the only issue raised was my absences
I don't remember giving references on the application form. When do we have to give them?
References were the very last thing for me after clearance was complete and before they send out the contract.
Oh great, thank you so much. I thought I missed something on the application.
Been offered a position in Information & Communications Technology and Logistics Division, Computer Centre, St Johns Rd, D08.
Any idea what I’ll be doing? Thanks
Looking after Revnue's IT and communication. Their print centre is also based there as well
Have you got anymore information mate? I applied for Clerical Officer so don’t really know what I’ll be doing in IT.
No more than that but they look after a wide range of stuff so could be anything really
Assigned to Print and Mail service. Has anybody done this? Don’t really want to be working with machinery, having to wear safety equipment and on my feet all day.
