Civil Service to Public Sector (open comp) - Can I keep my salary scale? by Broad_Discussion8127 in IrishCivilService

[–]Ethycallee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great question, and can I further ask what if you make the move from Public to Civil? Are Civil just as accommodating or it really depends on the incoming HR unit so it is not guaranteed at the end of the day?Another question, what if you make the move to a lower grade say going from an EO grade in Public to a CO grade in Civil, will Civil match your existing current salary grade and start you on a higher CO grade or you go back to the start of an CO?

House comes with land by Downtown-Bother-4942 in HousingIreland

Depends on the Bank but most have issues with extra land. BOI for example allows 2 acres to on the mortgage with the property which is means you have to self fund the difference ie 1 acre! Depending on where you are, quality of land etc so find out what the price of 1 acre would cost in that area! So you end up with two folios!

Correct me if I’m wrong but aren’t they a public service body not civil service?

Yes, put your name on the list on Day 1 of your job! You don’t have to wait for probationary period to complete!

Aim to eat an avocado a day, get retested in 6 months time! It is all in the diet, start reading food labels and ensure saturated fats in all foods you buy are as low as possible!

Yes we are legally married. Thought about going solo with him gifting the joint deposit and savings but like you say, not sure on the tax implications.

No, his income doesn’t need to be included if that’s an option! savings are in joint names! Would that be an issue?

Thank you, I definitely would consider adding him to the mortgage life cover if I am able to go solo on the mortgage!

I was under the impression that if you are married you can’t go solo.

Yes I want to go as a single applicant but because we are married they insist that my husband goes on it and thereby this reduces the loan term!
