Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I think it met twice but I will have to confirm that. On the last occasion I discussed with it the question of the derogation in respect of Irish being a European language. We have failed as a country to provide the number of properly trained and high standard translators who have three languages. If we were to take all the people from this country who can measure up to the standard required at European level now, there would be another problem in respect of people of capacity here at home.
