I do not have sight of that yet. It has only been a matter of weeks since the competition closed so we would not have any of that information yet. It is important that people who only have one language are allowed to apply. As I said, there may be people with learning difficulties where that would not in any way impact their ability to carry out their jobs the same as anybody else. It is important that it is open to everybody, whether they have one language, ten languages or two, and whether that includes Irish or not. As soon as those figures become available to us we can provide them to the committee.
