I recently, anecdotally, heard that westmeath is up to number 17 on batch 1. But I can not confirm or deny whether that number includes transfers

Last i heard of Roscommon it was at number 4, but that was 2 months ago

r65

Got placed in the Dept Ag, in the "Asset Management" role in Accounts section.
What would that entail, can anyone tell me?

Laois was moving with placements in Agriculture. I have not heard of any Offaly placements from the external panel😒

What happens when you defer? Do they come back to you when another area is available? Do they give a time frame?

Yes, as far as I know. If you are unable to take a position it does not mean they move you out of the panel.

Hi VintageMick...you still hold your position. So the next time they have an offer to make they will call me. This happens if you are more than 45KM from the location they offered you.

I have been offered a role in revenue. I know pay is small. Does anyone have any details on holidays, hours, etc. Also would revenue be a nice department to work in? Thanks.

I done a temp Clerical Officer role in Collector Generals last year, i enjoyed it. It's interesting. I'm hoping to get revenue myself if they ever get around to interviewing me and i pass that. My other half works in revenue too, she loves it. What department did they offer you?

girl told me on the phone it would be revenue. Didn't mention other departments.

My husband was told he couldn't defer?

Edit: just seen you can if you live over 45km away

I just called them, they've called up 26 people to interview from Kerry, there is a total of 43 in batch 1. Then the numbers in batch 2 are from 44 to 186 people.

Did they say how many had been placed in a job, have they moved to 1.2 yet

Those numbers they have interviewed are part of both batch 1.1 and 1.2 as far as i know. When i was talking to PAS before they said they were just getting into batch 1.2. They only call people for interview if they have places available, that's my understanding of it anyway. I know there is still 17 people to be interviewed until they reach batch 2, some of those people might have found a job outside of the public service at this stage or will have by the time they get the call for interview so hopefully it will move a little faster.

Hi Gerro, did you contact PAS today? As I’m late 50’s and the last time I contacted them they were in the mid 20’s. Be great if it moved that fast.

I've passed the garda vetting etc so waiting on a call for start date. Does anyone know how long the start date could be as will have to hand in my notice?

I've seen a few posts with people saying they had holidays etc and PAS were happy to work around them so I'd imagine it's the same with notice period. I'd assume start period is at least 2-4 weeks after the call depending on department. Congrats on your job!

Think they are at number 17...its moving really really slow. Considering this panel opened last November they have only reached this number. In previous panels they'd have been at number 17 after a couple of weeks.

Clericalgirl

I'm on the panel which started on 24th January 2019 and ends 24th January 2020.. Last interview was 22nd January.. I went for the clerical officer competition ran by the council itself not the PAS one.. Are there different panels run at the same time? I was told they would not start a new panel unless previous ones were expired so I'm rather confused

I’m not sure are you on this panel cause this competition started in summer 2018.

Clericalgirl

Just rang Westmeath HR and they're on number 13 from my panel.. I enquired whether there were different panels open at the moment for clerical officers there and they said no there is only 1 panel? Very odd..

This is not the Clerical OFficer competition that this board is about. You are on a different panel. This competition was rung by Public Appointment Service late last year for Clerical Officers Nationwide. There is no expiry date on this panel but they generally run for two years before they announce a new competition. Good luck with your own panel...hope you get something.
