    publicjobs.ie typically email/text everyone together giving the results of the tests, and maybe an indication of the number likely to be selected for interview / additional tests.

    Has anyone heard anything yet? Will we hear something either way or just if we progress?

    Just got a text at 17.30 this evening to say I had a message on my public jobs profile . I was unsuccessful so you will get word one way or another. 😢 best of luck.

    Sad to say I was unsuccessful also. I qualified but not high enough. My number is 955. I would love to know how many applied or the odds of 355 people not going ahead 😂

    Is there a next round that we can apply for next year or something or will we be kept on a list?

    So if we didnt place in the top 600 is that it or is there any chance of getting called at a later stage? Im so disappointed, really wanted it. Wonder how many people actually applied??

    I'm guessing there is a bit of hope if people drop out or don't make it past the interview or whatever but I'm number 955 so I don't think there's much hope for me. I would love someone to be able to tell me different but I doubt it. I would love to know how many applied too though.

    I wonder will it open again next year or will they work just off those who applied for the next three years...

    Off the top of my head I got the lowest bracket for numerical, the middle bracket for verbal and the highest bracket for job stimulation.. how about you?

    I'm no good at aptitudes tests unfortunately

    Think I got near enough full marks for the verbal and just scraped thru the other two.

    700 is usually 100% in tests from this crowd.

    I barely passed the bizarrely difficult numerical reasoning bit, so will be very worried of not passing in the supervised exam!

    I was near top qualifying score in verbal and job sim but shat the bed in numerical and am in the 200's. Maybe the time you complete it in is a factor, or one category is weighted higher than another. Weird.

    Thanks for replies in advance.

    Well if youre thinking of changing jobs the pension end of things prob isnt an issue. As for age, you are def not too old.

    Alan Shatter said in 2013:

    I can also inform the Deputy that there are currently 503 candidates remaining on a panel who have passed phase 1 (aptitude test) of the existing Recruit Prison Officer recruitment process but who have yet to be called to stage 2. This competition was run in 2008. A further 77 candidates have passed phase 2 (interview) of the process and have been placed on a panel in anticipation of further recruitment, subject to pre-employment checks.
