I understand that a competition was held by the Public Appointments Service (PAS) to establish a Clerical Officer panel in Limerick & Tipperary which was advertised in July/August 2008 in anticipation of creating a panel from which future vacancies could be filled. The competition required candidates to undergo tests at the first stage of the selection process. These tests were held during late August. As subsequent selection stages, including interview, have not been held, no panel has been established from this campaign. Given the current recruitment moratorium it is difficult to forecast whether or not any vacancies might be filled from this competition. The PAS treats each application on a confidential basis. I understand that the person in question has been in touch with that Office recently and the position has been outlined to her.
