Hey Sammy whiskers just wondering do you have a start date yet? as im starting in property registration also.

Previous service is taken into account and incremental credit is applied. The first 3 years are discounted and not applied to incremental credits. You should get 6.5 years applied to your salary which I think would put you on Point 6 of the scale rather than point 1, it will also speed up your next increment due date. Rather than having to wait a year your increment will come up quicker and you will move on to the next point on the scale which I think in your case would be point 7. Good Luck:)

Many thanks Cavan Bear. I probably should have stated that my previous position wasn’t clerical. Do you know of that will make a difference?

Many thanks

I’m guessing they will keep hiring off this panel as vacancies arise until they have stage 3 of this new campaign complete with a panel formed. I’m not sure how long that will take.

Just read information booklet and it said;

Stage 1 - Online Assessment Questionnaire Live- 2nd May 2019

Stage 1 - Online Assessment Questionnaire Close - 7th May 2019 at 12 noon

Stage 2- Interview - 18th May 2019

This new campaign seems to be moving very quick. And no mention of supervised tests... strange.

I was notified that a disclousure was made on my AGS vetting nearly two weeks ago but it’s a cold case since then.

No, sadly I have yet to be.

There doesn’t appear to be so much as a fart in my direction, I think it’s time to just move to Zimbabwe and start building paddle boats.

You never know, mine has taken months, my interview was May 2018! My Garda vetting had to be redone because of the length of time. You should call them.

Wow, a year ago! But when did you finally start then after all that? haha. I have man, I’ve called publicjobs before (I don’t want to persistently do so) and in fairness they are quite helpful and told me where my application was at with straight facts. The Garda vetting unit on the other hand, I emailed them and I hate to say it but just as predicted like many folk had said here previously, I got the usual copy and paste template back, further quizzed them and they just didn’t reply haha. I think it’s the not knowing if it ever will happen.

That is so frustrating. How long has it been with the guards now.

you only sent your vetting a few weeks ago? it's going to take atleast 3 months. mine is approaching 4 months.

4 months! That’s ridiculous man, no it’s more than a few weeks, the PAS made a disclosure nearly two months ago (plus the time to do the vetting) and the AGS vetting made a disclosure over a month ago but nothing, yet they told me they were awaiting the return of 2 strands?? Haha

I've been told 1 more strand . I know it's ridiculous but just have to ignore it as much as possible. i know it's hard

But i read the other day that the vetting bureau dealt with over half million vetting applications last year and it continues to grow so would be a bit of an explanation.

10 months from submitting ags vetting and got a call yesterday to offer me Harcourt Street. Such a long process. Anyone in Harcourt already that can tell me what it is like?

I will depend on where you've been assigned.

Just getting impatient is all, it’s a long process, not surprised that within that time people just move on to other things instead of holding their breath

Many (the vast majority over the course of the process) do.

I still have not started, got my assignment last week and am now waiting for them to get in touch.

I really do wonder if that’s a permanent change. They have done it for the Dublin area, but every other county has to do supervised tests and then interview stage.

I’m actually going back after 19 years at home raising my kids! Actually the longer it took, the better! I’m terrified now, what if I can’t learn anything new?? )

Ah there’s always plenty of new things to learn along the way, well done though

I had a job offer pulled yesterday and they offered me a different one today, much better location for me too. If you’re still waiting, hang in there, you never know!

That's great. What department are you going to?
It's odd that they are placing people from the 2019 campaign while people are still waiting here.

Are they placing new people already? Mind you, I was batch 1.6, can’t believe how long it’s taken. I’m going to the office of procurement, looking forward to it!

rsl1976

Yes, i believe people were interviewed last Saturday and if successful they received an offer on the day

That's good to hear!

I hope i get assigned there. The longer I wait, I'm afraid i'll be just given a random Garda station way outside the city.

Hoping my vetting will come back soon. I'm on to 16/17 weeks waiting now. They said last month that hopefully it would be completed "shortly" :rolleyes:

Oh id much rather work where i am that a Garda station i was waiting 14 weeks so ya shouldn't be much longer

Just wondering, for anyone who has been/is going through the advanced clearance for AGS, what does it entail after the initial Garda vetting?

Nihiyminoy

Just might be something of interest to anyone still waiting (including myself), but I called PAS late last week and I was told that the 2017 panel has been scrapped due to the new one being opened but provided you have done an interview and are waiting on vetting then your place is safe, they looked me up and told me that I would be asked for my references at the end of 2-3 weeks or no later than the end of June so here’s to hoping that it happens for whoever else is still waiting here too.

Hopefully there was no one left on this one still to interview, would be awful after all this time:(

Fingers crossed you hear soon enough

Exactly because they wouldn’t even know and neither would I unless they called up, some people put things on hold but aren’t informed only to realise that due to no fault of their own that the position isn’t actually there anymore. But I’ll try not to complain haha, but hopefully everyone done an interview.
