EU Institutions To Create 180 Irish Language Jobs
Up to 180 new jobs for Irish language speakers are expected to be created at EU institutions in Brussels and Luxemburg.
Recruitment for the first 62 posts now underway.
The announcement was made on Wednesday at a briefing in Dublin, hosted by RTÉ's Sharon Ní Bheoláin.
The event was attended by Minister of State for Gaeltacht Affairs, Mr Sean Kyne TD, Mr Rytis Martikonis, DG of Translation at the European Commission and Ms Sarah Rooney of the European Personnel Selection Office.
Sean Kyne TD, Minister for Gaeltacht Affairs, said that this announcement demonstrates practical reasons for people to study Irish.
"Often, school students have felt there were only very limited careers arising out of Irish language studies. This is a wonderful opportunity to pursue a rewarding international career and to raise the profile of our national language across Europe," Deputy Kyne said.
Mr Rytis Martikonis, Director General of Translation at the European Commission, encouraged Irish linguists to apply for the jobs: "It's a stimulating time for the Irish-speaking community. The EU institutions are fully committed and will work in close partnership with Ireland in meeting the challenges ahead. These positions represent great professional and personal opportunities and I urge you all to apply and participate actively in the competition."
