Just a general question about these. Can someone wait to see if something comes along in their preferred location? See example below

Your Order Of Merit for your chosen location(s) are as follows:

Preference 1- 2 Dublin
Preference 2- 1 Galway
Preference 3- 3 Longford
Preference 4- 1 Cork

Would prefer to remain in Dublin but do you HAVE to take what's offered or can you wait for Dublin

To be honest, in all likelihood, the majority of the positions will be in Dublin. With this in mind, being number 2 for Dublin, you'll probably be offered a position in Dublin long before any positions arise in Galway or Longford.

Anyone hear anything about appointments.... Have they appointed anyone yet

Havent myself mid teens.
Was wondering too. Maybe its too soon.

haven't heard a peep , i'm in the software development stream and a colleague is in the top 5 for infrastructure , neither of us have heard anything. i expect it'll be a few weeks before anything happens.

Have not heard anything but my top 4 locations were all midlands based (Westmeath, Offaly, Laois & Longford) so it could be a very long time before any jobs opportunities arise in any of those Counties.

The results are out 2 weeks now. Surely they have departments waiting on ICT positions to be filled when they ran the competition.

Keep us updated if you would thanks!

Are there any vacancies with Garda?

Technologic25

It said yes for specialist roles

Infor the Infrastructure stream I got an OOM of 11 Dublin. Is the good or bad? It's my first time applying for a civil service position.
I'm guessing it depends on how many positions are available for Dublin. Has anyone heard any feedback on how many positions are available?

Im a few places above u and ive heard from ppl in CS that its a great result so id say being just one out of top ten youve done brill. On past campaign think it was about 2months from results to when someone at number 21 was placed (going by previous posts in this thread) no idea myself how many places

Got my feedback. Got snookered on data analysis and reporting section.

Technologic25

Yup. 28th for the software stream in Dublin, exact same email.

Apparently Agriculture has a pretty sizable ICT side, according to folks in my office, so it makes sense multiple people would have been called up.

Same here......Infrastructure stream, OOM 11 and nothing yet. Fingers crossed its next week for us.
Well done on getting some news, hope everything goes smoothly for you.

Technologic25

Thanks for update. Yes fingers crossed.

Hi all DH got an email too-for for Property Registration- software development. Excited and never even had them on his radar!

Dillons Beat

Yeah I have a friend who's a senior developer there (contractor)in agriculture. I think it's all done in agriculture house in Kildare street. I only work next door to it ��.

I take it all these jobs are Dublin based?!

Katydoo

Hi McBrowne-yes-DH had only Dublin down. As a point of info he was lower down the software panel (24th) than the infrastructure one (15th) so assuming they are proceeding with the software panel first.

Thanks for letting me know. I'm only on the software panel but not in Dublin.

Hi, good to see a bit of movement in the software queue. Does anyone have experience of these types of situations?. With 20 or so people getting that email from agriculture, does that mean that they need that amount of new staff or will they go through the applications and pick out who they want for a smaller number of vacancies?

HugoMyBoss

just heard a whisper that some applicants seeded higher that 30+ have been assigned and confirmed to Garda.

No, they have been given a position with Garda and will start in about 12 weeks time.

That sounds promising for people above 30 on the OOM. I presume those Garda jobs are in HQ in The Phoenix Park.

Technologic25

This for infrastructure? I havent heard anything yet. Top 20...wonder would they all be in PP?
