Mr. Andrew Patterson:

I understand one of the appointment processes to which the Deputy referred was examined by the CPSA. I have a copy of the committee's report and I am quite happy to provide it to the members of the committee. We have not done a specific audit on the application of the Irish language. That is commented upon. The CPSA did look at how marks were awarded for Irish and noted that proficiency in both official languages was taken into account at the final interview stage in the process.
