Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community

Cumas Dátheangach na nOifigeach Ardbhainistíochta sa Státseirbhís: Plé

Ms Margaret McCabe:

The Cathaoirleach is probably aware that we run a number of campaigns for Irish competitions. We have campaigns running at the moment for clerical officer, executive officer and higher executive officer. Unfortunately, the numbers applying are quite low. We have been struggling with this for quite a while. There are a number of vacancies that we are trying to fill but there have been some difficulties. We are hoping that, with the refreshing of our brand, the targeting of communications towards Irish speakers and all that is going on at the moment to promote the use of the Irish language, people will begin to realise that these are really good and worthwhile jobs.
