Mr. John Howlin:

No, but I might make a more general point. At the very senior levels, there is a range of competencies, skills and expertise required. There can be an Irish-language component to that but it may not be expressed the same way as in the case of translation posts and other posts like that. One of the key functions of the committee will be to take a view across the public service as to the posts that should have an Irish-language component. It will also have to consider the standard that should apply because the standard expected for different posts can be a bit unclear. That kind of clarity will be very important in looking at recruitment.
