    I suspect you're looking at the 2022 campaign. I think that finishes now (end of January). I believe they are interviewing batch 1 now for 2023.

    They've requested documents off me this morning. And asking if I'm ready for an immediate start. If not, can I work April to September.


    I have 3 days booked for a trip late March. Does anyone know if this will hinder me getting an immediate start? Thanks.

    Late March won't be a problem although at the discretion of your line manager to some extent. I would start now and let my boss know of your situation after a few days. You will have the entitlement worked up anyway.

    I started in DSP this week and had two days holidays booked for the end of March and it was fine. What dept and what kind of contract are they offering if you don’t mind me asking?

    Happy days, great to hear. How are you finding it so far? I've an interview next Friday for CO Dublin too.

    This is the main part of the email, no idea about length or dept. Maybe 6 months?

    Further to your participation in the Temporary Clerical Officer 2023 competition, your application is subject to a number of checks to confirm your eligibility for the role. Most vacancies are for an immediate start can you confirm if you're available for an immediate vacancy or would prefer to opt for April to September? If you choose the latter option, you must confirm what months you are available for this period.

    So far so good still going through training and induction so it’ll be a few weeks on training and on the job training. Well done getting the interview hope it goes well for you. I’d say with the TCO comp they are now trying to figure out who is available for the longer term roles for example open contacts and who wants summer work that’s my understanding of it. I know there are still a good few open contracts going in DSP as people are moving into CO and EO roles elsewhere. So probably a better bet I would say to go for the available immediately roles?!

    Hi everyone, asking for my sister.

    She just had her TCO interview. She was 3 on panel for stage 1

    The interviewer said he couldn’t see her , that her camera wasn’t working and the sound was bad.

    We had done 20+ test zoom interviews prior , and did a test zoom after and all her audio / visual was perfect.

    She could see him perfectly and also see herself in the camera , clarifying her camera was on and operating.

    she said he also has his head down held his hand to his face for the entire interview . He never looked up at her once.

    Anyone else have a similar experience?

    Nope 2023, 2022

    You can send them an email to find out what number they have reached..

    They will only tell you by county not by location.

    Pas told me the 2023 panel opens on 1st April. They are still interviewing. I understand they are calling off the second panel they formed last year. You might remember they called a second panel last year, something they had never done before. Not many departments in Cavan. My guess is mid summer.

    I got offered IB 26 weeks fixed term contract.

    I am currently already in DSP on an open contract.

    There is an option to defer.

    What are there benefits of deferring or should I take the fixed contract?

    There is no right or wrong answer. Go with your best hunch. I'm surprised there is an option to defer a Tco contract but that might be the way to go. On the other hand, DSP are finding hard to recruit and keep staff and you could have a chance of being made permanent. I know some who have. Tough call but you can't be wrong either way.
