hellr

is the one in four a mistake as the ratio as supported by trade unions and monitored by DPER are 1 externally to 4 internally

I didn't know that, I hope it is a mistake. I was told that by union rep but hopefully I took it up the wrong way around.

These numbers are off the wall. The correct ratio is 40% of positions are to be from the Open panel, 30% from the Interdepartmental and 30% from the Internal Panel. This was agreed under PSSA.

The old figures were 2 people from Open, 1 interdepartmental and 1 from Internal panels.

Hi guys,

Just wondering has anyone heard anything today. Was told by my Union Rep 2 weeks ago that they were expecting HR Navan to issue the results today???

Results should issue through PAS because they ran the competition on behalf of AGS. I had heard the 12th but id imagine as the interviews only finished last Friday it will be another week. Also PAS love dumping the results at 4.55 on a Friday evening lol

PAS have told all of us that have rang that Garda HR will be issuing the results internally & not through Public Jobs....

Just hope they will come direct to our Personal Mailbox not through the Divisional Office!

Oh I never rang them so wasn't aware of that. Could be today or any day really all we can do is wait

I was thinking they might be posted out as we had to write out our postal addresses before the interviews.

I think they usually post them out to Guards now that you mention it. Might get them when we go home or on Monday

Gard to Sgt & Sgt to Insp all got theirs straight to their email last round.

I just hope they do it that way for ours & it doesn't get held up coming by snail mail through the different offices & different people find out at different times!

Has anyone rang HR and asked

Sue42

Rang PAS today. They don’t have a timeline. Data is currently with HR. PAS are awaiting instructions from them.

nickidd

I phoned Navan HR yesterday and they said the results are not ready and when they are we will get a message from PAS. I think the more people that phone them the better.

disliking shift work

I emailed PAS on Thursday and was told they were hoping to have the results out next week. They were ready to go but they were waiting on approval from Garda HQ.
So many different answers given to so many people. The sooner they're out the better

fashionlady26

I rang and they told me its a Garda competition and nothing to do with PAS and they would just be sendjng out the results when HR release them to PAS. Not a very friendly fella on the phone. But I would say they will be out this week.

honthetown

Probably be emailed at 4 on Thursday evening

Ah no. They're taking from the other interdepartmental one too? Then what is the point of having our own one? I betcha this doesn't happen in Revenue's internal competitions.

They do exactly the same with revenue internal competitions. It's so disheartening.

smacklass

PAS Update as of this morning - The lad I was talking to in PAS told me Garda HQ & PAS are arguing over how many positions there are for a straight promotion & how many they require to place people on a panel so the likelihood of any results being out today is very slim!

Sue42

That seems odd. Surely it would be solely down to HR about how many positions are needed. Like PAS wouldn’t know that information

That was my thoughts exactly....?? Is it not down to the employer how many people they want or need?

Yeah surely it would have to be! PAS can’t dictate how many positions are available in each department. Unless they’re trying to put us off the scent and they are releasing them today....ugh wishful thinking! All we want is a rough estimate. No one seems to know what’s happening!

Sue42

Ok HR just sent an e mail which said it will be after Easter break and it could even be the end of April! Least it’s better knowing

It is better knowing but really how hard are they trying, we have been waiting long enough!

They are not trying....they never do they are only ever happy when they are making a joke of us! I put in my mobility this afternoon....I'm done being a donkey for them!:P

reading threads from other comps lots of positions being offered in AGS but no-one wants them, could be good for this one

I noticed a lot of Open EO posts seem to be for AGS, should they not wait until the panel is ready from this comp?

Im in the open EO comp and posted to AGS.. And your right alot of people weren't to thrilled about AGS posting. And a few thought it should have been a separate competition. I think it was alot to do with the extended security clearance time frame. At this stage glad to have the opportunity and hope it's interesting. Good luck with your competition/panel

This Friday, 4:55 for the results ?

That’s true, but in the e mail they said end of April, and that’s Tuesday so here’s hoping

I have been in contact with Navan today and they have said that the results are being issued through PAS.

They didn’t say when they would be issued.

PAS say they are sitting there waiting to be released but Navan need to give them the go ahead to release them.

Just heard it will be Tuesday, and so the wait continues.....

Ugh, where did you hear that, is it reliable info?

Divisional HR this morning, its at a stage now where its like where's wally, the new co campaign launched this morning for Dublin states

PAS will establish a panel of suitably qualified individuals to fill vacancies which may arise in the Civil Service within County Dublin only.

PAS initially expect to fill approximately 250 vacancies following the interviews held on the date below and intends to only call such a number of candidates to interview to fill these vacancies on that date. Candidates may receive their interview result on the day of interview and those candidates who are successful at interview may also receive a provisional letter of assignment.

How can it move so fast there, I did my interview on the 20th March!!

honthetown

That competition is being run to let people who are currently TCOs become permanent members of staff.

How else could they get results and placement so quickly.

wicklow girl

I didn't see anything to say its for TCO's . We are CO's in the same dept for this competition so your logic would suggest the same speed for this.

It doesn’t specifically say it’s for TCOs but my reading of it is that it is a competition to get them made permanent.

I thought you cannot go from TCO to a permanent position? It's different competitions and different panels?

Just want to know now, one way or the other. Don’t know if I can see them releasing them on a Tuesday though....

I'm the same I don't even care about the result just want them. If they leave us waiting until Friday that's not fair, that would be a month after interviews

I know. Was over a month ago that mine was! Think they’re just sitting on them because they don’t know where to send people. Grand, but still let us know!

At this rate there wont be any positions to fill, they are hiring a huge amount from the Open EO panel. The PAF administrator should only be for internal candidates. You need a good knowledge of how AGS works and terminology especially for the that role

Some people have results!
