    Unreliable rumour apparently.....

    Did they give any indication on when we would hear back? I’m being offered a clerical officer role, but the 25% shift allowance is tempting me..

    No, just quoted the possibility that it may take up to 12 weeks....

    That would be guards talking over the radio giving out calls to other guards, not something that civilian staff do. So shouldn't really impact this recruitment campaign.

    It means that our start date is closer because we can’t start until the extra dispatchers are hired to deal with us. A guard I know in Galway reckons that we should be in training a month before they begin

    Don’t hold your breath at all - I’m ready to explode with impatience & frustration now. Haven’t heard a thing from anyone and the response is “due course”! If it’s any consolation I know the powers that be in GISC are just as frustrated - they’re crying out for staff

    Anyone aware if there's any paperwork required with the call-taking role? Would be happy if I never saw another bit of it again..

    I just had the first mention of the dreaded C word in work today. CHRISTMAS! I did not think I would have to face that ordeal this year and here's hoping I won't! V worrying.

    They can't tell you anything, you are only adding to the delays.

    It's their job to tell us...I hardly think little ole me is causing them hassle unless you have insider knowledge...

    They don't keep info and only hand it out when someone rings them, that's not how it works. Their job is to process placements and every call or email sent slows that processing down. If you are eager to start it's understandable the lack of info is frustrating, but pestering them won't make it happen sooner.

    Oh wow. That's a long way away for Cork and Waterford. Especially for anyone currently unemployed. The wait is just going to get even more frustrating
