![]() What is the difference between the different types of state bodies? I've read online reports about An Garda Siochana offering the best pay over all Public Sector but I would imagine that is limited to particular staff who are entitled to overtime so I wouldn't have thought their ICT staff would be paid as much. I have noticed some training courses that offer grants but only for people employed by commercial semi-state employers. Promotion prospects are better in Civil Service, very few internal competitions in Universities and practically none in LA's.The training and education opportunities are very good in the Civil Service, less so in Universities in LA's. ![]() The annual leave also appears to be worse in Civil Service compared to the Universities and LA's.For example, I was recently interviewed for a Tech Support role at a University which had LSI's equivalent to that of someone on a grade 7 in a Local Authority. The salary (for comparable roles) seems to be worst in the Civil Service, and best in the Universities with the Local Authorities falling somewhere in-between.I also tend to keep my eye out regularly for jobs across the Public sector including the likes of HSE and ETB's. I then in a Civil Service department for a short period and I'm currently working for a Local Authority in a grade 5 role. Initially I worked for a number of years in the Education sector in an FE college and then in a HE University. I have worked in ICT Technical Support roles predominantly in the Public Sector for the bulk of my career.
