Mr. Daithí Ó Caigne:

In relation to what I think is the Deputy's first question, no one is recruited into a position unless he or she has the skill set required for the position. Where we have identified Irish as a requirement for the role, we recruit people who have proficiency in Irish. There are some roles, although not many, where we have not had sufficient proficiency expressed at the interview and, therefore, we have not been able to fill them. That is not happening. In terms of the statistics available to us, the demand for posts that require proficiency in Irish appears to be low.
