    You have to work it out yourself with the figures they give you.

    Forgive the probably obvious answer, but do you mean you were placed in the 290's after stage 1? And now 150's after stage 2? If that is it, I'm even more Delighted as I've jumped 1000 exactly, seems huge!

    Just got mine too for Dublin. I passed and placed 1312 up from 2363 after the last round. Haven't placed high enough to be called just yet but delighted to have passed anyway!

    Got my results, went from 394 in Limerick and Tipp to 207. On the email they stated they are assigning places 100-180 - so close aaaaarghhh, surely there'll be another 27 interviewed for jobs! Delighted! My numerical and error checking were high scores, and the verbal was only like 36 above the qualifying score

    To the best of my knowledge they are not interviewing those candidates (80-109) but are actually assigning them to posts. They have already been interviewed. Which I suppose could be good news re the possibility/timscale of moving to Stage 3 and interview. Provided the jobs keep coming in of course. Fingers crossed.

    Yeah mine said "assigning numbers to 100-180" so i hope that means those people are already interviewed! Language of email is confusing!

    They have already been interviewed. It just means they are giving out jobs to people between those numbers that passed their interview.

    If you had a choice between a clerical role in a garda station and revenue which would people prefer?

    Having worked in a clerical role in revenue for 2 contracts, but never worked in a GS, i'd not be of much help! But if i was offered either i might go for the Garda Station. I would literally take a job ANYWHERE! The Garda Station may be more interesting, i don't know, although i really enjoyed my time in Revenue

    Revenue provides future opportunities to change roles, get promoted etc.

    Garda Stations is pretty much the one role with only Guards as colleagues

    Yeah I'm just delighted.. Such a long process!!! Yeah the first thing they ask is when you will be available , it just so happens that I got made redundant last week so I can start as soon as they need me.

    Avoid Revenue. 3 years there and my happiest day was signing back on upon "retirement". They won't have changed much in 10 years. I'm sure the HEO's upwards are having a great time - but if you qualify and are given any choice, wait to take up a post in the general service. As for AGS, no idea.

    Have been following the thread, but can't remember the answer to this question, if someone could oblige..

    Is there a re-ranking after the interview process, or are you just told you've passed the interview, and you retain the same place you had after stage 2?

    There's no re-ranking. You retain your stage 2 position.
