CLERICAL OFFICER 2022

Hi, In case anyone is wondering what oom they are on. I got called for clearance. I'm number 1324 in Dublin

@cdoran what batch are you in if you don’t mind me asking?

Batch 7

Hi there,

I had my interview end of may and Passed it, gave my location choices (Cork) . Does anyone know how long typically you will have to wait until they get back to you. It seems like 6 weeks or so seeing what people are saying on this?

I was waiting about a week after choice of location to be called for interview.

I had my interview on June 3rd so another 2 weeks you should hear. It’s torture waiting 🤣

They send you an email with documents and then you fill up them up and send them back. Then they will send you a link to online Garda vetting.

I just got emailed for my location preferences for Laois and Offaly. Nice to see some progress at long last.

From reading back a few pages it looks like the interview stage isn't too far after the location selection stage.

What was the wait time from location preferences to interview stage for some of you? It's just with less than 6months left on this current panal I'm nervous I might not get trough all the stages in time and have to reapply next year.

For anyone else who may want to know:

"To date we have called up to Order of Merit 30 for Co Clare and 105 for Co Galway"

Surprised Galway is moving so slow tbh.

No.

You can apply to do various tax exams etc. via the Revenue but as for made to sit exams kinda way, then no.

During training you will do exams/tests but they are nothing to worry about, the trainers are very helpful and will guide you through. Just going back over info that was discussed during training.

Email PAS and ask them whether there's any chance they might change it to Marlborough Street, no guarantee but you've got nothing to lose. However, once you start commuting you might find out its not too bad.

Hi all, my Garda vetting got complete today. (2 Garda vettings. 1 for pas and 1 for position in an Garda Siochana). Only 7 working days after I submitted. They said it could take up to 12 weeks. Surprised at how quick it was. Anyone know they next steps? They contact my employer for reference,? and then do they tell me my location and department within an Garda siochana? And start date ect...

Hi All,

I'm only home from holidays last night and seen the email sent on Monday to say I was being called for clearance for a position in Dublin but didn't say where.

Do they normally tell you in your clearance email where the position is located or is that after I send back my forms for clearance?

@Emmah82 I was told where I will be going in Dublin but not exact location. I was told before the Garda vetting and clearance stage. Garda vetting only complete yesterday so waiting patiently to find out exact location.

Got an email there as well today from clearance for Garda vetting etc for Dublin. No word about where, but didn’t think it’d be so quick. Only had my interview on the 23rd. OOM 1412 for Dublin and in batch 8 for anyone curious
