I got a call yesterday evening for reference checks for Cork region. I am number 151. I asked what department the jobs were available in, but woman I spoke to didn't have that information. All she could say was a dept. from cork has got onto them with positions and they were proceeding to check references etc..

Amazing I'm only a few places away from you. Please keep us posted with the process and best of luck!

Ill update as soon as I know.. must pluck up courage to tell current boss this evening.. PAS seemed to want to contact the references asap so hopefully things will move fast and you get news yourself soon.

Just out of stage 2 testing. Found the numerical much easier, more suitable to CO testing than the online stage 1. Three sessions on today, seem to be testing a lot of people. They told us results won't be sent until the middle/end of December, so looks like no interviews this side of Christmas.

Hi Ruadh, best of luck with the results. If you dont mind me asking, did you sit your 2nd stage for Dublin? If so would you mind saying your position after stage 1, was hoping to get called for stage 2 meself but nothing yet.

All the best

Hi, I set stage two for Galway/Mayo. I'm not sure if we were all there for Galway/Mayo, I was in last minute due to the traffic issues in the morning so didn't get to chat to anyone else

Got 2 separate messages 1 day apart on publicjobs.ie.

First one invited me to stage 2 testing on Wednesday next week.

The second one was the exact same email stating that stage 2 testing is Thursday next week.

Theres no contact in order for me to get clarification on this.

Has anyone had the same issue?

Just ring PAS with your details (exam no. etc.). Odds are you're not the only one on the receiving end of that. Proves you're adept at clerical checking.

I'd be quite surprised if its not the CSO- do let us know though.

Hi all,

Does anyone know what number has been reached for Dublin in terms of reference checks/being offered a job?

I got the email to say I'd passed the interview about a month ago now!

I was 1312 in Dublin and got my job offer on Monday. I found out I passed the interview on the first of October. References were checked on the 1st of November and I'm starting in the Adoption Authority on the 30th.

Placed 1237 in Dublin. Found out I passed the interview 1st October as well. They rang about checking references 2 weeks ago. No word since.

Thanks, FloatingVoter- it seems like I might be waiting awhile, so! I hope you get a job offer soon anyway, the waiting is the worst part!

It suits me to hold off contacting them until the new year or at least December. I'm just taking no news as good news.

Don't worry too much. A lot of people including myself did better than they thought they did at Stage 2.

They don't say until after reference checks but I'm hoping with all my heart that it's Revenue.

called the office to see what number they are up to in Cork as I'd seen 151 on here, but they have advised 140's again

I'm pretty sure it's 140s for positions and 150s for reference checks

Also side note - if they're in the 200s for Limerick surely they'll get to that number in Cork

Got the letter today offering me a position in DSP. So the wait is over....I'm in.
No when or where yet. Hopefully city centre.
Time to clean the house, close down the knocking shop then buy a bowler hat and umbrella - that is what the modern civil servant wears, isn't it ?

Congrats FV. So you may be going from one side of the glass to another! I received a similar letter recently. Bowler hat and custard creams all round then.
