An bhfuil Gaeilge agat?
There’s been a major jobs announcement for Gaeilgeoirs this week, with up to 180 jobs in Irish translation expected to become available with the EU between now and 2021.
The first 62 jobs were announced at an event hosted by RTÉ’s Sharon Ní Bheoláin in Dublin yesterday.
The Minister for Gaeltacht Affairs, Sean Kyne, welcomed the news, saying:
“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.”
Think you fit the bill? Applicants must be university graduates with ‘an excellent command’ of Irish and a thorough knowledge of at least two other official EU languages, such as English, German or French.
