Ms Margaret McCabe:
Tuigim an cheist. We ask on the application form if people are interested in working through Irish. When we go through the process with them, they are interviewed in Irish and given an Irish test as well to check their competency. This means that if we are putting somebody into a post, we know at the outset that they have the language.
