    Busy but fun. Have they told you what section you're going into? Or just illness benefit. It's hardworking. But rewarding all the same. The only way you deal with the public is over the phone or email. Not in person. Amd áras mhic Dhiarmada is the only building dsp own.Plus it can get very cold in the winter and very hot in the summer in the office. When you eventually get blended you can do up to 3 days at home and 2 in the office. Currently flexi is only available in the office. If you need any more information please ask

    Thanks so much for this very helpful information. I appreciate it. Illness benefit maintenance. Good to know they don’t allow flexi build up for days at home. That’s a pity.

    That's floor 2 the high wing. The maintenance section deal with claims once they are allowed. Its the biggest section in the office

    That’s very helpful to know. Thank you. So I presume there would be hundreds of people working on the floor there?

    There's about 200 on the entire floor over the 2 wings. But it never seems like that. One thing that I have just remembered is that we have a day called anchor day and that is when the entire section is in the office the same day. But not every section has the same anchor day.

    Ok thank you. I don’t think this job will suit my personal situation as I need blended. I’ll be looking at other job options.

    Anyone here get the EO that was already a CO? If so what happened to your annual leave? I carried over 15 days into this leave year on top of this years annual leave. Will the carried over 15 days all have to be used before taking up the EO? Does anyone have any experience of what happens. TIA.

    Just got an email to say I’ve been allocated to the department of justice and to fill out the extra clearance forms. I requested to stay within my department I’m currently in and they requested too so obviously wasn’t meant to be! Have no knowledge of justice at all so can anyone give any insight? I currently do blended working… do justice allow blended working? And is there flexi? Thanks for your help.

    People who have been called for clearance in the Open Stream in Batch 9 for Dublin, whereabouts was your order of merit after the interview?? Don't need an exact number, just a rough indication. Trying to figure out when I might be called...

    I’ve found out that my section in DSP only offer 2 days WFH after 9 months. Not great. I’m gonna keep looking for other jobs. Lot of other jobs offering more flexibility. If civil service offer poor flexibility on low pay, they’re really going to struggle to recruit. There has to be some benefit.

    It went well, Interviewers were very friendly, they spent some time at the start going through my application form and asking questions about my jobs before going into the competencies. They also asked a lot of questions based on my competency examples. They'll interrupt you a lot so be prepared for that too. At the end they asked some stuff about civil service core values, so try to incorporate some of those and the civil service renewal plan into your answers too ;)
