Ms Margaret McCabe:

As I said earlier, we now run separate competitions for people who are interested in working through Irish. Have I understood the Deputy's question correctly? Did he ask whether the person would just have to work through Irish or could they work through Irish and English depending on what they wanted to do? We have separated the competitions completely because people were saying that they would and could work through Irish but, when it came to the interview, they had literally no Irish at all. Ms Mitchell is a translator in our place. She would work through English and Irish.
