I am advised that 52 members of staff in my Department perform their daily duties through the medium of Irish. Other staff are competent, and, in some cases, fluent Irish speakers. In addition my Department also seconds staff to Oifig an Choimisinéara Teanga and 6 staff are currently assigned to that office.
