Hi, I got an email saying my Garda vetting was complete and a copy was sent to PAS does anyone know what the next step is? Will PAS be in contact with me?

Can I ask how long you were waiting for your Garda Vetting to come back?

Hi all,

I'm just looking for a bit of advice. I've been offered a role in DSP but I'm in a bit of a sticky situation. My bf is likely to be moved from his job in January and we don't know where he will end up(in Ireland) I am wondering if there will be an option to WFH as I know it can take a long time to move counties as a clerical officer. A remote job would probably suit better atm but even if I had to do a few days in office it would work. Any advice would help. Thanks all

AFAIK, majority of DSP staff are doing a spilt shift with 3 days in office, 2 WFH and rotates weekly. I know DSP staff who started this year and for the first number of weeks they were all in the office for training. It all depends on your location and what job you are doing also.

Some staff don't even have the option to WFH.

But I wouldn't be relying on having WFH 5 days a week TBH.

Every department / office have different WFH arrangements so ask and see what the situation at the present time is.

All staff down the line in years to come will have the option to WFH but that's a good bit away yet once this Covid is sorted. And staff will have to have assessments done on their WFH environment etc.

Does any one know the oom for dublin co 2020?

Any updates on Sligo?

Just to update on this, my friend contacted them last week and was told that they’re finished with batch 24 and starting on batch 25. Given the speed they seem to be moving at they’re probably 15-20 into it by now.

Might be helpful for anyone eagerly waiting to be called.

As of the start of the week they are at no 72 in Kerry. If anyone interested 😊

Does anyone know where they are with the Tipperary panel?

Has anyone started for an garda siochana

Thanks kkcat11, hopefully the panel will close later. Same boat here, I'm batch 8, oom 5.

This thread has really died off since the ‘upgrade’ although the slowdown in traffic could be a boards wide problem.

Anyway, I heard today they are up to 5 on batch 25 for placement. Which probably means they’re 20 plus ahead of that for vetting/references. Anyone heard anything similar?

Hello. Anyone on here awaiting interview for Mayo area ? I got a message the end of June to say that interviews are in the process of being set up and they would be in touch again. I have heard nothing since.

I used to work in the Passport Office before Covid. The Pasport Office is part of DFAT. This is where most CO's end up.

DFAT has 2 offices in Stephens Green and Harcourt Street, a short walk apart. Luas stop nearby. Passport Office has offices in Balbriggan and Mount St. Dublin 2.

The Passport Office accepts online applications but also accepts paper forms so WFH would be limited as a passport is a paper document which must be printed and put in an envelope for posting. Webchat and telephone helplines is part of CO's job. There is flexi-time. If you are assigned to Passport Office it is very busy given there there is a backlog as it was closed for months with staff helping out Social Welfare last year.

Thank you, can I ask what hours you're working in DSP please?

We have to work 7 hours a day in the office. Those who WFH have to work 7 hrs 24 mins. Our office allows us to work between 7am and 7pm. So i work 8am-3.30pm. This will change when flexi comes back. New staff still have option of working from home. But DSP is very slow to arrange laptops.

I'm starting on the 16th as well in Personal Division, looking forward to getting started!
