Do you have to provide typed references or do they actually contact your past employer? I have noticed on past threads peopled stated that references usually are after the position has been offered?

For me in 2019 I was offered a position in a Department and then the HR at the Department contacted my reference.

It was no more than a quick phone call confirming some details. Nothing major to be getting worried about.

Very true. They also send us free organic food and organise free foot massages as part of the Civil Service employee wellness programme. That TD Mac Sharry forgot to mention that. Maybe next week. He also spared the Department of Social Protection from his comments. Is that because they are in the frontline or could it be that they have a large national office (Pensions) in his constituency? Anyway I'm sure his opinion is well considered. Sur wasn't his Daddy a TD before him.

Time for my foot massage. Get your application in quick.

It's got a lot better with the introduction of Boxsets, used to be that you didn't look out of the window of a morning lest you'd have nothing to do in the afternoon.

I think people should give Mr Macsharry a break (6 weeks to be exact) the poor man has been working so hard 3 days a week since the 1st of July.

He made some good points about those lazy public servants and the loss of productivity. I mean the productivity of a T.D has been near zero for most of the year.

Oh well.

The truth in that is quite sobering.

As someone in the EO thread pointed out, it's likely anything already budgeted for (such as this competition) will go ahead. There are some departments in desperate need of front line staff like DEASP.

Someone posted recently that they were up to OOM 24 in Sligo. Don't know about Leitrim, sorry.

abbeybella · 05-08-2020 11:42am

Any idea what OOM they are up to in Dublin?

Jassgal · 05-08-2020 5:19pm

I emailed last week and they where at 251 for Dublin

Can we infer that approximately 250 Jobs have been allocated in Dublin to date or is that just 250 interviewed awaiting a vacancy ?

I'm not sure to be honest, I reckon it's just 251 have been interviewed but I could be wrong

Thats 251 interviews but some people will have failed interviews and others will probably be in the clearance stage.

EO2019 · 06-08-2020 7:28am

Also a number of that 251 will have turned down Dublin to hold on for their other county.

Carmol123 · 06-08-2020 10:08am

Anyone get called for longford or cavan

Just wondering, has anyone with an OOM in the 200/251 range for Dublin received a Job offer?

Jood10 · 06-08-2020 12:41pm

Just in case anyone is wondering there hasn't been any progression on the Limerick panel in the last 4 weeks still at OOM 11.

It depends but generally it's 23,000 - 24,000 to start off with, increments up to 37,000 or so thereafter.

24,104 (461.96) – 25,681 (492.18) – 26,083 (499.85) – 26,864 (514.83) – 28,017 (536.93) – 29,167 (558.99) – 30,319 (581.05) – 31,157 (597.11) – 32,105 (615.29) – 33,209 (636.43) – 33,986 (651.32) – 35,078 (672.24) – 36,162 (693.04) – 37,855 (725.48) – LSI 1 39,186 (750.99) – LSI 2 39,796 (762.68)

LS1 is 3 years at maximum then another 3 years sees LS2.

You can add 2% to the above which is the pay rise in September. It MAY be the case you skip points 4 and 8 on the above scale. I'm not 100% sure on the eligibility of that. You're paid weekly on a Friday.

JenOD90 · 07-08-2020 10:35am

Hi guys, I am OOM 19 for Waterford. Due to Waterford being a neglected city by the big boys in Dublin what do you think would be the chances of securing a placement here?

Waterford is at 10 so yeah, I’m sure you will get a call.

Revenue hired at least 45 staff from the 2018 panel. The rumblings were that there were supposed to be the equivalent amount hired from the current panel (huge amount of retirements in Revenue in Waterford) though obviously Covid may impact that plan somewhat.

So would the bulk of places in these panels typically be for positions with Revenue, outside of Dublin at least?

WertdeerSC · 07-08-2020 1:21pm

Pay rise is in October. Yes, you skip points four and eight. You get paid weekly on a Thursday.

jaffa20 · 07-08-2020 3:38pm

Anyone know if any movement on Kildare OOM?

L390 · 07-08-2020 6:49pm

Difficult to say. Revenue is certainly a big employer, in Waterford at least. DEASP would also recruit quite a bit from CO panels around here.

Hi folks,

Just wondering if anyone knows if there has been movement on the Kerry panel yet? If so, roughly what OOM are they on?

Many thanks

Deniseb24 · 11-08-2020 9:44am

Hi just wondering if anyone that accepted the offer for the docks (3 weeks admin, 1 week outdoor), has heard anything at all? A friend of mine got a call last Wednesday asking if she was still interested and was told the email would be sent out by the end of last week and she has gotten nothing yet. Wondering if anyone has received an email yet?

Hi, I received the same phone call last Tuesday and an indication that an email would be sent out soon.She said not to worry if I did not receive the email until next week (i.e.this week) and received an email on Thursday afternoon. The email contained some forms regarding identification/garda vetting and references. I have the impression that there are quite a number of vacancies and that they are working through them so your friend has no need to worry as yet. I hope this helps.

Asked on Monday and was the they'd got up to 259. Which is only eight people in two weeks, when they'd done 220 people in the three weeks previous.
