Any idea how many candidates are in each batch?.trying to gauge roughly when I might hear from them. It would be greatcto have something before Christmas��

In Dublin it appears to be any number from 50 to 100
In other counties it seems to be less then 20 and in most cases around 10

Congratulations. In a year when many counties saw very little movement due to covid, it's good to known some made it. Heres hoping next year will bring good news for many others as things get back to some level of normality. Best of luck, I'm sure you'll get on fine

Thank you. Excited about it really. If I had a preference for any position this was it. So hopefully now I'll settle in quick.

You won't even get a Christmas party nevermind a bonus. Public money doesn't cover anything like that.

If your lucky you might get a few hours added to your clock by your supervisor.

Can't be spending the taxpayers money on bonuses for the staff......

Yes absolutely.

How does using your AL work at Christmas? I generally save a week AL for Christmas and take the week off, any chance I'd still be able to do this next year?

Normally the CO panel would be two years, however CO 2020 was set at one year.

The next campaign is expected to be in March-May 2021.

Hi, does anyone have a copy of the candidate booklet? I thought I had it downloaded but no! I'm sure it's in the body of this discussion somewhere but I haven't the energy to trawl through all these pages lol

Hey, I was hoping someone here would be able to clarify/offer some friendly advice. I've been applying for CO and EO civil service jobs for the last few years and finally got placed high enough on the CO panel to hopefully get called for interview. Yesterday I received a message on publicjobs message board for expression of interest. This is my dream job, of course I replied. Today I received an email from the recruiter stating that "At the moment we have sufficient numbers interested at present and you will not be invited to interview for this post on this occasion. We will be in touch when more vacancies arise". I was wondering is this common practice? After years of waiting I was so happy to finally get an interview and today I am devastated. I don't even know how to respond. The message board said that by expressing interest I would be removed from all other panels, is this still the case? And is it common practice to get a candidate's hope up, then shatter their dreams in one small email? Why not email the first 10 on the list and if they're not interested move onto the next batch? I'm very confused, let down, and to be honest upset. Any advice on how to reply to this email without damaging my chances of interviewing in the future or any other advice would be very much appreciated. Also, has this happened to anyone else and how did you deal with it?

Samuel T. Cogley

Usually when you express an interest you remain on the standard panel. Usually the job you're expressing an interest in is an odd one with shift work or something like that. By expressing an interest they will take the highest OOM that expresses said interest so it's manifestly unfair to remove the 'also rans' from the standard panel. I'd query it with PAS.

Anyone have an update on OOM for Co. Sligo? Thanks.

Thanks for that I sent in the expression of interest Monday haven’t heard anything yet hopefully it won’t be too long, I think it said “for positions starting in December “ which makes me hope it will move quickly

Just received this email :
Thank you for expressing an interest in the Clerical Officer/Customs Officer role for Co. Laois.


At the moment we have sufficient numbers interested at present and you will not be invited to interview for this post on this occasion. In the event that further vacancies arise, we will be in touch.


Your application has been re-activated in the general Clerical Officer competition and we will contact you should we reach your place on the order of merit of your chosen location(s).

Hey does anyone have any idea where PAS is with regards to interview numbers?
