Mairéad Farrell (SF), Galway West

Gabhaim buíochas leis an Teachta Ó Cathasaigh as an gceist seo a ardú. It brings me back to something that was discussed at the comhchoiste Gaeilge yesterday about ensuring that people we employ to deal with schools in the Gaeltacht and with Gaelcholaistí are proficient in the Irish language. There should be an onus on those advertising jobs to include a requirement in respect of the Irish language. Bhí plé inné ag an gcomhchoiste Gaeilge maidir leis na daoine atá ag plé le scoileanna sa Ghaeltacht agus i nGaelcholáistí go mbeadh Gaeilge riachtanach nuair atá an earcú á dhéanamh. Tá sé sin fíorthábhachtach mar más Gaelcholáiste é nó má tá an scoil sa Ghaeltacht, is pobal Gaeilge é sin agus ba chóir go mbeadh chuile shórt agus chuile dhuine atá ag déileáil leis na scoileanna sin ag labhairt i nGaeilge.
