I just got a message for PAS saying I've been confirmed for dept of ag. And given a contact number, told I'll be hearing from Agriculture soon.

No message for me, but my HR department in PER is asking...odd questions about if my manager knows I'm on an Ag panel, and what my current workload is like. Seems to indicate they've been contacted. Going from one Dept to another requires me to be released, rather than simply hired I think.

You're on the move so! Similar for me and I had my assignment to a regional location outside Dublin confirmed by PAS last Friday. Just have to wait for the receiving Department to sort out a date, presumably with my current one.

I'm the same as you both im in the houses of the Oireachtas next door... I wonder since we are already civil servants they don't have to do Garda clearance again? Just like you said both HRs contact each other and organise the move time that suits both departments

Do you mind me asking what region you have been placed in?

When I came in originally to PER, there was a bit on the form that said clearance was only for folks not already in the civil service. I haven't seen something similar for this campaign, but I'd assume that's still the case.

Did you contact AG and ask about the job?

Yeah and I was told they have loads of EOs starting, they are trying to get them in as soon as possible, was told you generally start about a month after clearance. Personnel said they would get the PO in IT to give me a call and talk about the role... he never called But I wasn't really expecting him to call.

Just sitting tight now.

Dillons Beat

I got the call today from Agriculture HR they asked when I can start. They told me my line managers name and where I'm going in agriculture, they were looking for me to start asap. They are sending the contract in the post now. I'm 17th on the software stream. Looks like I'm starting any week now. Anyone else heard anything?

Well done 🤓

Anyone heard on infrastructure yet?

bada_bing

Regarding the infrastructure, a friend of mine on the infrastructure panel contacted PAS about it and he was told at the moment there were no vacancies available for his preferred locations. He didn't pick Dublin as one of his locations so he was told it could be a while before anything happens. It seems the priority is focused on the software development panel for now. I imagine Dublin will have vacancies for infrastructure but when that will happen is anybody's guess!

Which dept. have you been assigned to for software?

bada_bing

i'm being assigned to Dept of Agriculture as far as i know but still waiting for clearance as there was a delay with HR asking my line manager for some document.

Same as myself. Were you told which team you would be joining?

bada_bing

i've not had any further details yet and i've just emailed PAS earlier for an update. I would not be happy if i was offered something that does not meet the definition of software development or involves the use of some outdated skills. I'm anxious to know exactly what the job will entail.

I think you might get better information from the Agriculture HR deparment

How long does it take to get an offer, after they ask to contact your current employer for reference? I'm in the software development stream list.

Is anybody else under consideration for role within dept? I'm not sure, if I'm in competition with others for the same role.

I think the under consideration is just pending vetting and all your paperwork being in order. Don't quote me on that but I'm currently contracted in Dept of Business and that's the info I've been given by the civil servant's there.

Thanks for the reply frostface. I presumed so, but wasn't sure. It's a long process. Still waiting for them to contact me. Well done with getting a contract.
