    A good few were placed from the external panel so that’s not 100 percent true. I asked my heo and was asked to be tagged. No update from anyone yet. Such a rollercoaster of emotions.

    Another day of waiting for the email

    Hi, I just want to ask if anyone from this competition has dealt with any disruptions during the assessments and wasn't disqualified? I just did the 2026 tests and for one of them i had to yell out three times as my mother started loudly talking on the phone right outside of my door and i couldnt focus. Im heartbroken that i'll be disqualified as its classed as a major breach in the info booklet.

    @meormy Contact them and explain the situation, better safe than sorry. It will give peace of mind as well.

    How does the review of footage work out of interest ? Surely several people assigned to this don’t have to sit and review 35-40 minutes of thousands of applications footage?

    Definitely contact support. It shouldn’t have let you proceed without a camera. It wouldn’t even let me hit start without having my face in view for the room scan.

    Fyi all, I received an email this afternoon for to submit for Garda Vetting. Going to do tonight, no formal job offer yet and since im in the service already I had hoped to get out of it but step in the right direction at least 😀



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48 hako


    Congrats to you first of all. Just to understand how things work, were you in batch 16 or 17? Or since you are already in the service is there a separate batch or no batch at all for interdepartmental applications? I'm trying to get the logic where they stand and how they approach during hiring process.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48 hako


    I'd also contact the support mentioned in the email they posted and explain the situation. It's a tricky situation!

    External panel Batch 17 oom 3 after interview.

    in the service 14 months but applied for both CO and EO at the same time.

    just did the vetting page now and it was super basic, just details like address, dob etc and send ID to pas.

    I had expected to have to do 10 year work and past addresses bit but maybe that will follow later



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48 hako


    Okay, got it. Well congrats again and it looks pretty straight forward at least for now:) Let's see if they will move on more with batch 17 in the upcoming 7-8 business days. Now at least with your confirmation we know they started with batch 17.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13 Bullmccabe4646


    Thanks a mill... tbh its still not an offer of a position but should be something soon I hope.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 62 ✭✭louloubb


    Congrats, hopefully its moving now



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 85 ✭✭ BoardsCS


    @Bullmccabe4646 Congratulations Bull, you're definitely on for an EO job now.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 196 ✭✭2016claire


    Hi all, quick question—has anyone here applied for the new EO 2026? If so, have you done the test? Is it much different from the last one?
    Thank you.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48 hako


    It's very similar. To be honest I believe the questions were the same as last year but i can't prove it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 85 ✭✭ BoardsCS


    Anyone hear anything today?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48 hako

    I did a rain dance this morning in hope that it will rain EO jobs this week. 😂



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 62 ✭✭louloubb


    Anyone any idea what OOM we are at for Dublin now?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,802 ✭✭✭✭shmeee


    All panels seem to have gone on a go slow the last few weeks, same with any internal panels for various departments. Whatever the reason. Very annoying for all concerned, especially those here who are waiting for the call.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 70 ✭✭DarkKnight


    The last response I received is that they have no intention of calling more for interview.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24 iliketrees


    Even if you passed the interview, you have to be put into clearance for a role before panel closing on Friday 27th. Soul destroying to get this far and then time runs out!!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4 egormley


    hi. What was the structure of the interview? Did they ask for one example of each capability ? Anything you weren’t expecting ?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24 iliketrees


    the interview was very structured and followed the capability framework, have your examples ready and it will be fine. Use the time at the end of the interview when they ask if you have any questions etc to add or reinforce anything you didn’t get across during the interview.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4 egormley


    thank you



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5 aoifed2089
