Don't you mean APP, not APR, seeing as it's a procedural environment

Nice area though, friendly people, had a great time when I went there for the rally a couple of years ago.

Cool

In a moment of madness, I applied to them the last time they advertised, (earlier this year).
I was offered an interview, but they expected me to cough up for all the travel expenses with no reimbursement. It was also the time that Ryanair's marketing madness did not extend to Knock, and the return air fare was going to be £230, so I didn't pursue it.
Is this the same post, or did they fill that vacancy?
Take into account that Ireland are changing to the Euro next year, the salary isn't all that competetive.
Shall we all apply and hold an ATC Pprune party there on interview day?

In response to Spoonbill`s queries

It is the same vacancy

Ryanairs madness does now indeed extend to knock

and IR£40,000 = EURO 50,800 - same spending power , euro changeover is irrelevant i think

backtrack27 what sort of roster are you chaps on ?

The Management at Knock must be under pressure to fill the post weren't they originally offering IR£30,000 ?

Slan.

with the ppf increase and the intro of a shift allowance, the salary has increased , you are indeed correct.

It is the same vacancy as originally advertised 13 months ago.

Does no one want to work here ???
