I've no idea how many are in each batch or if a second batch have been called to interview. Im in the late 20's of batch 1

For Galway or Mayo?
If for Mayo I doubt if there would be 30 jobs before the panels close in 2020 but who knows.

I am 40s on Cork 2.1 batch, called 5 wks ago was at number 21, called 4 wks ago was at number 28, called 3 wks ago was at 35 and just called again today and apparently it's still at number 35? Wtf! I'm starting to get impatient and wondering was all the hassle of going to Dublin for interview etc even worth it, so disheartening the way it just stops all of a sudden

They have to wait for jobs to come up before they can allocate anyone from the panel, that's the reason for the slowdown in Cork. No jobs=no movement. It's frustrating but that's how it works. Hope you hear something soon-keep us posted. I'm in the late 80s so I've a bit to go yet.

You have to get on to PAS if you want to reschedule your interview-so do it asap, they're very good to deal with so I'm sure there'll be no problem once you tell them in time.

Hello again, I know I’m not being very patient but I’m just wondering does anyone know up to what number has been placed now for the Donegal panel?

I have been called and was in top 5 in Mayo . being Garda Vetted at the moment which is taking ages and have not be given a start date to work ( I will have to give a months notice anyway). It will be likely be the middle of May then, hoping...

Congrats.

Have you been told where you are going?

Is GISC also recruiting off the panel or is it a separate competition?

Any idea how many are in your batch?

Thanks

They have placed 5 from batch 1.2 in Westmeath

Thanks for the update, it's good to see the panel moving again. Hopefully they get through that batch fairly quick and move onto 1.3 soon enough. There's a fair few in 1.2 though.

Joe222

There are 30 people in the first panel in Mayo, 7 people have been placed.
Don't know about Galway.

Hopefully people will be called quickly. I would imagine once they get to 20 or so they would need to call the next batch, but who knows.

I'm 6 weeks into Garda vetting for a garda station. How do you know how far your vetting is along? Have you called them? I've not heard and wondering should I give them a ring.

Good Morning Samsgirl, how are you getting on?

May I ask? With the Garda Vetting for the job you have been called for, does that mean you have not started work yet and have you been given a start date yet?

I'm going by the date I submitted it. I got a email back after 5 days saying the first check is complete but there are two more to do.

No start date yet. Not even reference checks done. They will do those once the vetting is complete. Long process that would test your patience but hopefully it will all be worth it.

A friend of mine had his vetting started back in the middle of December and it was only completed this week, they are moving on to the reference stage but still no sign of a start date.

You only get one offer. If you turn it down that's it...you're off the panel. Unless you are more than 45KM from the job location

No harm to inquire/ask before you accept or turn down the position.

Congratulations CorkCandidate, fair play to you. No harm in chancing your arm and enquiring about the possibility of a different department, I suppose you'll never know if you don't?

Also, from my own selfish point of view, did they say what number they were on for Cork by any chance?

I got the call today for Meath got DSP, anybody got any experience on what it's like or how long clearance will take?

pippa800

Hi Amandajo, I can't help you with your query but a friend worked temporary in DSP in Cavan last year and found it very interesting she really enjoyed her time there.
I am also on the Meath panel and am wondering how far down the list they are? I am the low teens.

Im starting with DSP on Monday, clearance took one hour nineteen minutes.
Well according to vetting website it did.

I got a call on a Tuesday afternoon offering me the place with 5 days to confirm. I officially accepted Thursday morning with details of my references and Thursday afternoon sent in garda vetting form. Both refs where contacted by email Friday morning and one responded immediately. The following Monday my EO got a phonecall from PAS (was a TCO). Tuesday morning got an email from garda vetting saying i was being processed and one hour nineteen minutes later another saying it was done. Ive no patience so emailed PAS who responded saying they had just received second ref and would receive a message on my public jobs account. That binged 10 minutes later saying HR from DSP would contact me soon. They did, it was only an hour later. And we agreed a start date less than 3 weeks later as i had holidays to take.
It was that quick and that simple.

Thats great congrats!!! Just wondering was your second choice Limerick? Hoping if Cork is moving along then that might make the list in Limerick a bit shorter if that is peoples second choice?

Thanks, the vetting for the guards can take upto 12-14 weeks though. No Waterford was actually my first choice and Cork my second. Never got any word on the Waterford panel at all.

My Friend Rang about Kerry Today. Still no Further movement. In fact hasn't been any movement since February. One Person still left in batch 1.1 in which there were 10 in total. So only 9 people placed so far and one more left before they go on to batch 1.2

Thanks lamb stew, appreciate it.

So frustrating regarding the pace of the panel movement in Kerry in comparison to everywhere else.

You honestly think it will have that big an effect on the PAS taking on new staff?! I don't understand the full ramifications of them taking on new staff with Brexit looming in the background if I'm being honest...

Just hoping the Govt wouldn't put an embargo on new staff, if our economy takes a major hit because of Brexit.
