Mr. Daithí Ó Caigne:

I am not aware of any such intention. On recruitment, we are ensuring that we target the particular areas from which we are most likely to attract Irish speakers. We have reviewed a number of competitions in that respect and we think we can improve the way we try to attract people with proficiency in Irish.
