Departments are giving current staff in Dublin regional moves as part of the now restarted 'mobility' programme- as there is a large cohort of staff in Dublin- many of them for years- who have been desperate to get to a more suitable location- and now have that opportunity for the first time in a long time.

Someone mentioned up to 720 called on the order of merit for regional panels. Up to about 1,400 on the order of merit already have offers on the Dublin panel- so 720 on the regional order of merit- may be a much lower number of paneled candidates (perhaps 120-150)- and thats in all counties other than Dublin.

I think this is going to be a waiting game- that none of us are going to have reasonable expectation of taking for granted...........

Lads, when is this competition due to expire? Didn't apply for it as I was still feeling bruised from the previous competition and I'm feeling the deep burning regret now.. I need a timeframe to aim for!

This panel expires in October 2019, but a new competition will be announced in advance of that date.

Not that I am aware of. I'm very high on the Limerick panel but I'm dropping out as I have accepted a position in my other region. So one less for your friend to worry about!!

I emailed them today and there have been no offers for Limerick yet. I had accepted Clare and was told the position was in Ennis, 2 weeks later i was told it was Kilrush so i'm back to square one.

Do you mean that you have had to turn down Clare? does this now result in you being removed from the Clare panel and only remain on the limerick panel?

Erm....., Does canvassing of any form disqualify the candidate?

I would think so, yes! It's in the information booklets somewhere.

I know that there are some regional interviews in the next few weeks. Is it only for people who selected certain areas or will everyone in the next few hundred be called? They have already interviewed the first 400 regional candidates. I'm in the 400's and haven't heard anything but I know of people in the 700's and 800's who are being called. I tried ringing PAS on Friday but they weren't answering the phones.

Scobette

I was in the high 400's and have been called I'm based in the west I wonder do they do it go by location and what's available - I know of 2 people in my region that have been appointed from the first batch of regionals

I'm on 2 regional panels (Munster areas). No1 and No 4 and no call for either yet. I emailed PAS and I was informed there are no vacancies in these areas yet.

Hey congrats to all who were successful this time. I am up again in next few weeks to give it another shot. Can anyone give a clue as to what presentation is about this time? Any help appreciated (as failed last presentation!)

The_Conductor

Someone a few posts back said there was another cohort of regional candidates being brought to interview.
Any idea how far up they're going in the order of merit?

Thank you!!! :-)

Go for it!! def an experience & you never know you might do very well!!

I suppose know your form 100% & maybe practise writing reports & then practise doing presentation on that report - im not 100% sure TBH as i havent done the interview...

best of luck!!

Ballingarry

I think you should always go for it. The best way of getting better at presentations is to actually do one. you will at the minimum then have experience that you can call on in the future. Best of luck.

Hi, May I ask how much notice do you get for your interview?

Congratulations!!! I don’t think this panel closes until Jan 2019, but I could be wrong.
