Amharc ar fhreagraThe Public Appointments Service (PAS) is an independent, statutory body which provides professional recruitment and selection services to the civil and public service. The PAS advertised a recruitment competition for Clerical Positions in the Civil and Public Service in June 2014 which attracted over 28,000 applications. This competition was held in order to create panels of qualified individuals from which departments and public service bodies could draw when filling sanctioned vacancies.
The establishment of a panel for a location(s) is based on demand as notified to PAS. To date Clerical panels have been created for Dublin and Limerick/Tipperary. Other panels in train are Donegal, Cork, Kerry, Waterford/Wexford and Kildare/Wicklow. Panels for other locations will be created by PAS as and when required by employing Departments and bodies.
