Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Tuarascáil an Choimisinéara Teanga maidir le Comórtais Inmheánacha sa Roinn Coimirce Sóisialaí: Mionphlé (7 Nov 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim fáilte roimh na finnéithe uilig. Táim thar a bheith buíoch díofa as a bheith anseo agus deis a thabhairt an t-ábhar fíor-thábhachtach seo a phlé. Ó thaobh comhthéacs a thabhairt don cheist ar fad, agus tá seo tábhachtach ach níor clúdaíodh é sin i ndáiríre, tháinig an t-athrú...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Tuarascáil an Choimisinéara Teanga maidir le Comórtais Inmheánacha sa Roinn Coimirce Sóisialaí: Mionphlé (7 Nov 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Tá sin ráite sa ráiteas ach ní thugann sin freagra do chuid mhaith de na ceisteanna an-bhunúsacha a chuir mé. Cé gur dúradh nach féidir leis an Roinn é a chur i bhfeidhm, ní shin le rá nach bhfuil an Coimisinéir Teanga ceart. An nglacann an Roinn le húdarás an Choimisinéara go bhfuil sé de chumhacht aige...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Tuarascáil an Choimisinéara Teanga maidir le Comórtais Inmheánacha sa Roinn Coimirce Sóisialaí: Mionphlé (7 Nov 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ó thaobh an phróisis de, de réir mar a thuigim, is cuma an dtaitneodh sé linn nó nach dtaitneodh, mura mbeadh an Roinn sásta leis an mbreith, chaithfeadh sí an dúshlán a thabhairt taobh istigh de cheithre seachtaine san Ard-Chúirt. An raibh caint faoi sin nó an raibh an Roinn ar an eolas faoi sin? Ar thóg an Roinn cás den...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Tuarascáil an Choimisinéara Teanga maidir le Comórtais Inmheánacha sa Roinn Coimirce Sóisialaí: Mionphlé (7 Nov 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: An bhfuair an Roinn comhairle faoi sin ón Roinn Airgeadais nó an Roinn Caiteachais Phoiblí agus Athchóirithe? Glacaim leis gurb é dlí na tíre dlí na tíre. Ní fheicim go bhfuil seo roghnach; tá sé éigeantach ó thaobh an phróisis de. Níl mé ag iarraidh piocadh ar an Roinn trí chéile mar sin an...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Tuarascáil an Choimisinéara Teanga maidir le Comórtais Inmheánacha sa Roinn Coimirce Sóisialaí: Mionphlé (7 Nov 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Tá an cheist seo fíor-bhunúsach, baineann sí leis na heagrais ar fad.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Tuarascáil an Choimisinéara Teanga maidir le Comórtais Inmheánacha sa Roinn Coimirce Sóisialaí: Mionphlé (7 Nov 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Tá mé ar lorg soiléiriú maidir leis an gceist sin. Tá sé luaite ag an Dochtúir Quinn san aitheasc a thug sí gur chuir an Roinn 4,500 faoi agallamh le cúig bliana anuas. Dá mhéadófaí sin thar 37 bliain, táimid ag caint faoi na mílte daoine sa Roinn. Má bhí an cleachtadh seo i bhfeidhm sna Ranna ar fad, agus...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Tuarascáil an Choimisinéara Teanga maidir le Comórtais Inmheánacha sa Roinn Coimirce Sóisialaí: Mionphlé (7 Nov 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Dúirt an Coimisinéir a mhalairt ar fad. Bhí mé ag plé le cúrsaí fostaíochta tamaillín mé féin. Nuair atá post le fógairt, cuirtear sonrú-poist le chéile agus bíonn sé an-soiléir má tá Gaeilge éigeantach nó riachtanach don phost sin má tá scileanna ríomhaireachta...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Tuarascáil an Choimisinéara Teanga maidir le Comórtais Inmheánacha sa Roinn Coimirce Sóisialaí: Mionphlé (7 Nov 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Tuigim gur sin tuairim na Roinne ach ón méid a léigh mé i dtuarascáil an Choimisinéara, níor aontaigh sé leis an tuairim sin agus rialaigh sé ina coinne. Dá bhrí sin, glacann an Roinn lena rialú nó ní ghlacann sí leis. Mura nglacann sí leis agus mura aontaíonn sí leis, tá fadhb ann mar is é...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Tuarascáil an Choimisinéara Teanga maidir le Comórtais Inmheánacha sa Roinn Coimirce Sóisialaí: Mionphlé (7 Nov 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Tá mé sásta gur dhearbhaigh an t-Uasal Patterson, ó thaobh próisis de, go gcuirtear na cúinsí ar fad san áireamh agus go leagtar amach job spec ar thús an phróisis ar fad, ó thaobh na Ranna Rialtais ar fad. Glactar leis, má tá Gaeilge i gceist, go bhfuil sé leagtha amach sa job spec go bhfuil Gaeilge ag teastáil, ar...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Tuarascáil an Choimisinéara Teanga maidir le Comórtais Inmheánacha sa Roinn Coimirce Sóisialaí: Mionphlé (7 Nov 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Dá bhrí sin, nach raibh an ceart ag an gCoimisinéir Teanga, má bhí Gaeilge ag teastáil don phost, gur chóir sin a chur san áireamh sa phróiseas roghnúcháin ag an tús, má tá sé leagtha amach go bhfuil Gaeilge ag teastáil don phost? Déanann an tUasal Patterson pointe eile, pointe a thógfainn suas leis....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Tuarascáil an Choimisinéara Teanga maidir le Comórtais Inmheánacha sa Roinn Coimirce Sóisialaí: Mionphlé (7 Nov 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: However, Mr. Patterson said Irish is part of the role. If a couple of languages were needed I might be better at Irish than at German, for example, and someone else might be better at German. People will not have equal skills. Mr. Patterson said he audited one of the cases the commissioner looked into. Was Irish compulsory for that job or was it desirable? Given that he ruled that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Tuarascáil an Choimisinéara Teanga maidir le Comórtais Inmheánacha sa Roinn Coimirce Sóisialaí: Mionphlé (7 Nov 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Mr. Patterson is saying the CPSA is disregarding the commissioner's ruling and going with the guidelines from the Departments. The ruling in de Búrca v. an t-Aire Iompair and Others, deals with a similar situation. Does the CPSA have to take that legal precedent into account when advising Departments on recruitment?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Tuarascáil an Choimisinéara Teanga maidir le Comórtais Inmheánacha sa Roinn Coimirce Sóisialaí: Mionphlé (7 Nov 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Beidh go leor cairde agam sa dá Roinn seo nuair a bhéas muid críochnaithe, ar aon nós. Tá mé thar a bheith buíoch do Iníon Uí Coleman as na freagraí a thug sí. Má táimid leis an aidhm seo a bhaint amach, ó thaobh daoine le Gaeilge a earcadh don Stát Seirbhís, cén polasaí atá ag an Roinn...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Tuarascáil an Choimisinéara Teanga maidir le Comórtais Inmheánacha sa Roinn Coimirce Sóisialaí: Mionphlé (7 Nov 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I appreciate that Ms Coleman cannot go into the details of the case but there has been the case of de Búrca v. An tAire Iompair. Has there been any other similar cases where people have sought compensation for the language not been taken into consideration in promotions or have any compensatory payments been made to people from the Department in situations such as that? I take it Ms...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Tuarascáil an Choimisinéara Teanga maidir le Comórtais Inmheánacha sa Roinn Coimirce Sóisialaí: Mionphlé (7 Nov 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Would it be possible to get details on the number of people across the public service who can carry out their daily work through Irish and if there are any strategies or targets to make sure the number is increased over the years? I also asked about compensation. Have other people taken cases and been compensated because of language issues in the recruitment process, cases that might not...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Tuarascáil an Choimisinéara Teanga maidir le Comórtais Inmheánacha sa Roinn Coimirce Sóisialaí: Mionphlé (7 Nov 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: The Coimisinéir Teanga disagrees with the Departments' opinion. It is open for those who took the case to the Coimisinéir Teanga to go to court about this. If they went to court and won their case, it could open the door for more cases to be taken from other people who would feel they were not treated properly in the recruitment process regarding the Irish language. Is there a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Tuarascáil an Choimisinéara Teanga maidir le Comórtais Inmheánacha sa Roinn Coimirce Sóisialaí: Mionphlé (7 Nov 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: It states clearly that it should be at the beginning of the process. Does the HR directorate disagree fundamentally with his opinion?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Tuarascáil an Choimisinéara Teanga maidir le Comórtais Inmheánacha sa Roinn Coimirce Sóisialaí: Mionphlé (7 Nov 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Should Irish not be one of the prerequisites for any of the senior positions in the Civil Service?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Tuarascáil an Choimisinéara Teanga maidir le Comórtais Inmheánacha sa Roinn Coimirce Sóisialaí: Mionphlé (7 Nov 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Would it not be desirable, if we are trying to promote Irish, that it should be given a weighting that would encourage those with Irish?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Tuarascáil an Choimisinéara Teanga maidir le Comórtais Inmheánacha sa Roinn Coimirce Sóisialaí: Mionphlé (7 Nov 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Was Irish included in the initial job specification for that?
