Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community
Cumas Dátheangach na nOifigeach Ardbhainistíochta sa Státseirbhís: Plé
Mr. John Howlin:
Just to be clear, Deputy, no one will be disadvantaged by being an Irish speaker. They will have more opportunities available to them because, as the Deputy has said, they will be functionally bilingual so they can be put into a post, as the Deputy has described, where they will be operating through Irish and English or, possibly, in an English-language post through another competition. There are more opportunities available.
