Can anyone tell me what would happen if someone got one offer (say in Dublin) and accepts it, are they then taken off the panel completely?

Or do they still stay on the panel for their second county?

You are taken off the panel -hence why I had to turn down the Dublin offer

You will have accepted a post so you're off the Panel.

For those successful in batch 1, were you emailed by PAS about your regional placing or only notified once you rang?

Only after we rang and only after 6 weeks had passed from notification of our overall position on the panel. They might even had started making offers before they were able to share regional information.

Thanks for that. I rang for an update on how my two regional counties were doing and the person at 1 in Wexford may have accepted another county offer so that bumps me up (as I'm number 2).

I was worried someone could hedge their bets and stay on the panel and hop from one job to another if an offer came up.

Any offers for batch 2?

Seems they're at around 115 on Batch 1 for Dublin so still 30 or so people on panel 1 (some obviously regional) before they hit panel 2 for Dublin.

Just rang PAS to check on regional movement on batch 1 and was told hardly any vacancies have been regional, so far almost all jobs have been in Dublin. Basically don't call us we'll call you

That is what they told me when I rang about regional placements - Literally.

A friend who's in the early 110s got his assignment. Fingers crossed it won't be long!

Hi everyone,

Does anybody know how many were successful in batch 2 of interviews?

I am in early 100s and am wondering are there many below that.

As they are moving quite quickly through batch 1, there is hope for us lower down on batch 2..

If you accept a job off open panel are you removed from interD as well?

Yes once you are an AP you no longer meet the conditions of the competition

Does anyone think that if you are being recruited for a good job like that from a panel which is never ending, and now hiring those who are the bottom there is something wrong.

Interdepartmental AP is surely a farcical situation

What do you mean. They are not hiring near the bottom. Not sure you understand the process or are a troll.

There were 3108 applicants for this competition. After the whittling down process they have identified approximately 300 applicants suitable for the position so even if they get to the end of Batch 2 it will be what PAS have determined to be the top 10% of all applicants. They are currently at approx position 115 which is the top 4% of all applicants, I would regard that as very far from the bottom.

Is it still at 115? or has it moved on from that number?

Given that someone further down the list seems to have been contacted would you not give PAS a quick ring?

Didn't know of anyone further down being contacted. I'll let it lie til next week as I'm hoping to stay in sept and don't want to annoy PAS as yet so I can hopefully stay

Yes but who wants someone on 65k per annum for a job that they don't even know is and where there is no clear match in skills for the job.

Can you really see someone in private sector hiring anyone in this way.

Nope

It's always a disappointment when you don't get the job mate, better luck next time.

Perhaps you could enlighten us with your suggestions for large volume over such a varied service at equivalent cost to PAS

I haven't heard of anyone on the Mayo panel, I'm wondering about Roscommon/Leitrim.

I think someone in batch 1 mentioned they were 11 for Kildare, but that could have changed if those on the Kildare panel also picked Dublin as an option and have since accepted a Dublin job.

I know of 3 on the leitrim panel

Don't know about Laois but I was 11 for Kildare. Rang just a few days ago and was told there are now 5 or 6 ahead of me for Kildare. So either 4 or 5 have been placed in Kildare already or more likely they have accepted posts in Dublin!
