Ms Shirley Comerford:

Obviously, there are some roles for which Irish is a fundamental requirement. Our experience of working with Departments is that the Departments already know this, so what comes to us is really the finished product. I do not have examples of situations in which we have gone back to Departments to tell them that a role has an Irish requirement. That is not our role. Our experience with the Departments is that where there is specific requirement, they notify us of it in the role description. We have not had to have that fight.
