Wasn't expecting to pass due to maths but I did. Am a long way down the list though so wont be holding my breath! Just delighted I passed!

I'm in shock that I passed the Maths. Convinced I hadn't even answered enough of the questions.

I'm placed in the 70s for Longford/Leitrim/Sligo and 30s for Westmeath/Offaly/Laois.

Very happy!

I'm surprised you are so much higher in Longford Sligo Leitrim as it has a population of 135,000 compared with 240,000 for Westmeath Offaly Laois.

Longford/Leitrim/sligo people must be more intelligent.

I didn't think they'd called anyone yet for Westmeath/Offaly/Laois?

Don't know, I had applied for both areas. Not sure how that works.

Deduction is

3% of gross +
3.5% of gross -2x OAP rate
Also pay PRD but you will never see a cent of that!

so just say for convenience say annual is 20k,

so deduction is (3% x 20 k) + (3.5% x 20k) - (2 x OAP rate)?

All those deductions come off before income tax and PRSI presumably?

I didn't know about PRD, so thanks, I just looked it up there.

Yes I'm mid 800's and haven't been placed. I rang them yesterday and they said references will be contacted in the next week or so.

Is there anybody else starting next Monday in Dublin? Getting nervous now.

Could be a while before they get to me so! Good to see movement though.

Yes. They asked if I was still interested in the Cork region and if it was ok to contact my referees

Idrive · 10-06-2015 01:23PM

I can't make my mind up, if this thread is helpful or anxiety inducing

Im in the 180's for Limerick and waiting to see if i'll get a call.

Been patient enough to this point. Another few days won't hurt. Congrats on the call again.

I'm there with you in the 180s.
Here's hoping we get some good news by the end of the week.

The process, although fair is long.
I'm always fearful that they will stop just before they get to me.
We made it this far I suppose Lenny.
I've yet to tell my boss, eek.
I don't want him to be in too much of a shock if I quit and ask for a reference 10 mins later.

Well done to you..I am placed 108 so at best will be in for a long wait..Dont know if they will have that many vacancies in Carlow/kilkenny to reach me, I suppose it depends on how long they keep the panel open for.

Or how many would you expect them to call to interview stage?

I done well on verbal and numerical was my best but error checking let me down a bit.

If you dont mind me asking what was your total combined score from the 3 areas just curious to see what score top 20 or so is in comparison to my own

These were my scores:
Verbal Reasoning 507
Numerical 648
Checking Information test 528

I'm not sure how many will be called to interview stage, like you I can't imagine there being too many jobs in Kilkenny / Carlow........I just hope they don't decide to just call the top 20 !!

forzawexford10 · 10-06-2015 08:36PM

top stuff well done ah i would say you will def make interview stage. all the best and if you could please let me know if and when you are called to interview so i will know when things are moving in the area it would be great.

Thanks a million

I am early nine hundreds and start next week. Have you been allocated a department and are just waiting on a start date, or have you not heard anything at all?
I am sure they know what they are doing, maybe they have something special lined up for you?
Maybe a quick email just to put your mind at rest?

Good luck with it though... hopefully there will be a few of you starting together.
