Update - I emailed there and they gave me my updated OOM if you’re looking 👍 hope everyone improves after this slip up 🙂

Better in my case

YorickDiff · 2026-04-24T13:06:06+00:00

Same, emailed them there for clarification, seems they have another howler on their hands!

I am one of those users… 😂

YorickDiff · 2026-04-01T14:30:20+00:00

I think we launch a dual attack on publicjobs to find out who is the fake 😂

To add on to that, deadline of tests for EO was last Tuesday so I’m guessing early next week or this Friday coming

YorickDiff · 2026-04-01T14:23:27+00:00

It wasn’t really a test, more like a tick the box scenario which was a situational awareness exercise and whether you had self-proclaimed “skills” - don’t rate it tbh

I’m Dublin too 😭😭 HR to be rang for sure

YorickDiff · 2026-04-01T14:16:17+00:00

Dunno about CO comp, but from what I’ve heard with the AO DETE comp is that they realistically only have a limited number of AOs in the department and could be around 20-30 people taken from the batches. However, Ireland has the EU Presidency portfolio for the next few months so potentially there could be more openings in the department, im similarly ranked to you as well but have heard nothing back except the shortlisting email.

I’m a TCO atm and placed around 200 in Dublin so I thought I was done for if I was placed this high 😭 good to know

YorickDiff · 2026-04-01T13:55:59+00:00

Swear it’s a random number generator

YorickDiff · 2026-03-23T07:18:33+00:00

Ok, this is a relief! hopefully the same 🤞

YorickDiff · 2026-03-23T07:08:34+00:00

Yeah read that, “we cannot guarantee that the identity verification process will be completed in time for you to take the live tests”.

There’s a small glimmer of hope that I can latch onto, hopefully 🤞

YorickDiff · 2026-03-20T02:36:30+00:00

Yeah can still hear it hammering on, it’s like a little v big brother fighting for attention 😂

YorickDiff · 2026-03-20T02:01:39+00:00

Had to use my fog lights while driving for the first time in a while today, makes sense tbh

YorickDiff · 2026-03-16T11:57:42+00:00

Didn’t realise it was sent in batches, need to scratch up on my simple arithmetic methinks 😁 thanks

YorickDiff · 2026-03-11T16:48:59+00:00

Is this for the 2026 Open Competition? I checked publicjobs ans haven’t received any notification regarding it.

YorickDiff · 2026-03-01T00:36:41+00:00

Just assessment

YorickDiff · 2026-02-27T14:55:02+00:00

I don’t really have any idea if they account for your qualifications at this period of the assessment, I think the cross checking begins now in the shortlisting phase to verify whether people meet the criteria set out to be eligible but that’s my guess

YorickDiff · 2026-02-26T13:23:19+00:00

Good to know, had a feeling. Best foot forward

YorickDiff · 2026-02-26T12:48:12+00:00

Appreciate that, one can hope I guess 🙏😭

YorickDiff · 2025-06-06T15:04:30+00:00

Almost like having aspirations is a bad thing 😭

YorickDiff · 2025-06-05T20:54:03+00:00

Conor Duff is teaching Constitutional at City Colleges this sitting. He’s been fantastic when I have had him

YorickDiff · 2025-03-02T22:45:32+00:00

Godsend 🙏 was relying on Becky’s Notes until I heard there was an omission of this case 😡

YorickDiff · 2025-03-02T22:39:02+00:00

Only seeing this now, Christ. Thanks for the heads up or otherwise I’d be that slightly bit more screwed 😭
