CLERICAL OFFICER 2022

I've previously worked in the public service but left after 11 months because I got a better paying job. Of course the new company went bust and I was back to square zero.

What do I tell the interview board when they ask me why I left? If I tell the truth I'll look like a mercenary fecker!

When did you have your interview and what was your oom if you don't mind me asking.

Interview was the end of may OOM was 48 for Kerry. I've lived in about 20 different places so garda vetting took a bit

Hey, I'm just reading up on this thread. I got a call last week to say I will be starting in a Garda station pending vetting etc, it will be Sept before I start so they will be in touch end of aug. I'm slightly worried about the work, I wonder will there be in house training etc, I also got a 6 Month contract covering mat leave, also wonder what are the chances of being kept on after 6 months or will I be out on my ear! I'm delighted to get the 6 Month contract, it's just the start I need having been at home with the kids for the last few years. Any thoughts, much appreciated.

Are u sure you’re on this panel and not the TCO one? This is a permanent panel

It’s only been 5 working days since your interview and you were told you would hear within 10. You could have been the first day of interviews for a large batch and they’ll let everyone know at the same time so it’s very likely they are still interviewing. You will be informed either way if it’s a pass or fail. Patience with this whole process is key

For anyone who is also on lists for kildare or laois per PAS they have called 55 for kildare and 22 for laois.

Laois hasn't moved in a few months 😭

I'm really hoping they start to move soon cause I'm losing faith I'll be called at this point.

Also interviewed for Cork on the 27th . Still heard nothing back so hopefully will be start of next week 🤞

Anyone have any up to date figures for Limerick or TIPP?

I got the interest message about a month ago. Have an interview next week. I'm in Donegal and 70 to 80 on the panel

I would say if you’re in a public facing role smart causal, back office casual. Congratulations

Not sure yet, I'll be either in Killarney or Tralee

Percentage of pension contribution and union fees would be the same across the board unless you opt to pay more towards a pension.

Hi.

I started earlier this year so this is based on my experience.

On point 1 and assuming the usual single person tax credits and bands You should have around 415 into ur hand a week assuming you have the typical single person tax credits and tax bands.

Pay increase of 500 per year due in October so estimating this brings u up to around 420-422per week take home.

Fingers crossed the pay increases are improved by then. E. G if pay increase was 1000 should see around 428-430pw take home.

Unfortunately there will be no Vegas for me for a few years. :-(

@Jokerman87 I passed the interview stage just received the message, Thank God.. Hope you get same news
