Nearly exactly a week.

Can take quite a while for the vetting process, my brother starts next week in Dublin, a separate competition I know. Had his interview around April, although he asked for a specific start date. Best of luck everyone, hopefully hear back soon 🤞.

Nope, no word on Tipp positions yet, and I'm the top of the pile.

I've heard rumours about revenue planning on taking on 30 or so but no idea how true that is.

redwhitekopper

I'm 34 for Tipp, that's great to know. Hopefully hear back next week, although I'd love to get Justice. Thank you.

What's the reason for Justice? Office close by is it?

Tipp Town the biggest office. Don't hear much of new hires into the Prison Service office in Nenagh or Probation Service in Clonmel. Can't think of any others falling under Justice off the top of my head about Tipp.

As mentioned above, Revenue taking on 30?.... On that, it could be over a couple of divisions for a few different Counties. At present seems to be 2 and 3 hired that I know off. Haven't heard of a batch of 10+ in a long time into one office.

If you're number 34, you'll get a call for sure. Just a waiting game. Best of luck.

Do ye think they simplified the whole process is because they really do need a lot of people or..?

DOJ Citizenship are based in Tipp!

Believe they've got vacancies too seeing as they're trying to recruit a lot of TCOs atm

zagnut

Anyone know what number they are at in Kildare or Laois?

redwhitekopper

Have always had an interest in An Garda Siochana, based my Final Year Project on the force and did some work experience in my local station a lifetime ago. I live in Laois myself, my dad's family hail from north Tipp, so it would be ideal.

Appreciate your message, I'll take it one step at a time, need to pass the interview first. Do let me know how you get on.

Thanks again.

I clearly haven't a clue how this works. Is there another interview after the initial one I had last week?

TCO's may not exactly mean vacancies at this time, the TCO's may be in to cover Shorter Working Year, Annual Leave and other leave at this time. I've seen departments get TCO's and not hire a permanent CO at all during the year. Easier way out for them.....

A lovely new office in Tipp town also!! Would be nice.

Expression of interest submitted today for Carlow. OOM low 200.

redwhitekopper

No, just the one. Didn't mean to confuse you. Hopefully hear back tomorrow, if not, before the weekend.

tbc2023

Hi, anyone hear anything about Kerry?

Heard nothing since the 6th June asking about the preferences.... OOM135. Thanks

redwhitekopper

Got mine yesterday, shed a few tears in relief. Hopefully things will move swiftly on. Appreciate all the advice, encouragement and help from the community here.

crinkley

Hey if anyone’s done their interview would they mind pm me the sort of questions they were asked, I want to check if they were similar to last years my friend has his interview in 2 weeks

sanktrangelov

Can I ask a stupid question? It's my first time going through this...

Got OOM 359 in Cork and was emailed this morning asking for my location preferences.

How likely is it that I'm called for an interview from here? To be honest I'd given up hope on this one so it felt good to receive the e-mail!

Had read on here that up to 580 got called last year in Cork

Nenagh has a massive revenue office. Debt management and call centre based there.

They always take batches of 20/30 and do 2months on the job training and then full time work.

AGS need a couple but not sure where. Garda clearance in templemore always take a good few in the training college. Nenagh need a couple of EOs and one CO AFAIK, Thurles are full and Roscrea may need a CO and EO. Saying that though they're changing the roles of the offices at the minute so a whole reshuffle of assignments going on.

Similar questions but much faster paced. Less about bcc and GDPR and more about what would you you with collègues who couldnt use computers and your own computer skills. Communications skills were big as well but less about conflict and how you communicate with all aspects of society.

Difficult customer made a show and how you would handle them.

Also new official languages act is important. So públic bodies must answer phone in Irish first unless internal call, emails signatures etc through Irish and Irish takes precedence over English on signage, letterheads etc aka Irish first, English second.
