    When they're contacting your references so they ask you to list your references first or do they just contact them based off your application?

    Hi! Would you mind sharing whether they’ve started your clearance? I’m in batch 5 as well waiting to be contacted to start the clearance process. Many thanks!

    Only got the email this week regarding the clearance. The closing date for having the bits in is next week so I’d say it’ll only start then.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16 Nkusadasi


    I got my results today for batch 6. I’ve been told that batches 1-4 have all been placed at this stage and they’re working through clearance for batch 5 right now.

    Did anyone get their results of the EO interview last week? What number on order of Merit and do you know when to expect to be called.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5 Canzo123


    I got my results last week. I got in the 60s in batch 6. Anyone who is in batch 5 how long did it take from hearing order of Merit to getting offered a job?

    Where are the jobs? Is it still IPO?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 137 ✭✭Mytimetoshine22


    It depends where you are on OOm im in batch 5 in the 80s i havent heard yet but i think those in 20s and 30s have

    Cheers



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26 SarahLou2705


    I’m in batch 5 in the 30’s - Pre employment checks only starting this week.

    I emailed public jobs and they said they’d no insight into the positions available, the location or the timeline for starting 😵‍💫

    It’s pretty relaxed most of the time apart from dressing in a suit for auditing or meeting tax payers. Maybe best to dress up a little for the first week and get a vibe of the office you’re in. But a Shirt and chinos for a guy would be more then enough.

    Wonder what the chances are of them extending this competition past the closing date. Am I correct in saying it ends in June or July.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,237 ✭✭✭Iseedeadpixels


    Theres no guarantee but every competition I've been in have been extended.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16 Joanmkenny


    A friend of mine is an AP and in civil service 17 years. She said panel wont close end of June. It will def extend. They need people in all depts. They wont want to have to redo this process all over again. So im hoping shes right



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,686 ✭✭✭✭shmeee


    But they do, do the process all over again. The following year....... So that's not the answer.

    But more than likely this panel will be extended, all recent panels were. And the CS is crying out for staff the whole time in some departments, getting approval for these staff is the issue from higher powers.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20 LiamOMaitiu


    Update on batch 5 clearance. I have contacted +clearancemailbox@publicjobs.ie and they're currently approaching OOM 60 (post interview) to begin the clearance process.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12 stevea110


    Hi, im a single digit OOM in batch 6 and Garda clearance has started last week. Should I take this as more or less certain I will be offered a position? (obviously once the garda clearance & reference checks come back). Cheers



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16 Joanmkenny


    Hi, have you been asked for proof of qualifications already? And have you started the garda check process already? Im from batch 5 and have only been asked for proof of qualifications. Still nothing else! Do they only offer job to a certain number of people per batch? Or does everyone who passed interview get a job? Im so confused!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16 Joanmkenny


    I wish i knew where I stood as if im not getting a job before panel expires (whenever that is) then ill move onto looking for job elsewhere! So frustrating!

    Pretty much guaranteed a job barring qualifications not matching the requirements or you're a career criminal :)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16 Joanmkenny


    Ok great. Thank you. My qualifications are definitely real! Process feels so slow esp when u dont get much information how it all works or even any guarantees!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12 stevea110


    Hi there, yes qualifications have been sent & garda process started last week



  • Posts: 30 [Deleted User]


    Whereabouts is this in first terms of the first OOM?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 66 ✭✭tira11opm


    Anyone hear anything about where they're at with the Westmeath panel? 🙃 I'd say they hate to see me in the mailbox at this point!!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12 bogthing


    Hi, just wanted to check based, I submitted my references, docs and then the form to begin Garda vetting last week, am I now just waiting for the link to the actual e-vetting form? TIA



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9 nighthawks123


    Anyone from the Kerry competition have any inside into how long they were waiting? Did my interview on the 11th, got results on the 16th, my OOM is single digit, sent my qualifications and location preference and closing to have them in was yesterday the 22nd of April.. just wondering is next step clearance and how long were ye waiting firstly to go through clearance and secondly offered a start date? Thanks



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16 Nkusadasi


    hi , batch 6 under 20 OOM - has anyone around this mark had any progress since passing interview stage? Haven’t heard anything yet.


    Also a question on proving qualifications, I obtained a QFA qualification a number of years ago but let it lapse as I no longer work in finance. It was on my original application as it was parsed over from my CV . I no longer have this on my CV and don’t claim to have hold the qualification anymore - do you think this may throw up any issues with clearance ?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 192 ✭✭2016claire


    If this panel closes at the end of June, they will likely continue to call people until the new panel is formed — which probably won’t be until at least December. I mean, if they advertise the EO 2025 competition, by the time applications are submitted, online tests are completed, and results are processed, it will take a good few months. Does anyone remember when this panel was advertised? I think it was around last June, and I don’t think interviews started until December, so they’ll probably follow a similar timeline this time around.

    I'd love to know too! The wait is a killer! Last I heard they were working through batch 2 and 3 (I'm batch 4) so no idea when I'll get called, if at all. Passed stage two mid March, sent on proof of qualifications and now just waiting, waiting, waiting… haha
