Mr. Daithí Ó Caigne:

The vast majority of positions that require proficiency in the Irish language, as identified to us, have been filled by candidates who have sufficient proficiency in Irish for the post. I am aware in a general sense of one or two posts where particularly high proficiency was required and my understanding is that we have had difficulty filling them. However, I am talking about one or two posts. That is how I understand the situation.
