246. To ask the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources cén líon státseirbhíseach atá earcaithe le bliain anuas in a Roinn a bhfuil Gaeilge agus Béarla acu; cén grád ar a earcaíodh iad; cén líon iomlán státseirbhíseach a earcaíodh i rith an ama sin agus an ndéanfaidh sé ráiteas ina thaobh.

Earcaíodh 34 státseirbhíseach nua i mo Roinn le bliain anuas.  Ní féidir a rá cé mhéad acu sin a bhfuil Gaeilge agus Béarla acu ach ceapadh triúr mar gheall ar a n-oilteacht sa Ghaeilge go sonrach.

Within the last year, 34 civil servants were newly recruited into my Department.  It is not possible to say how many of those have Irish and English but 3 were appointed specifically because of their proficiency in Irish.
