A further eight vacancies will be decentralised to Gaoth Dobhair, i.e., Engineer Grade II (Editor), three Engineers Grade III (Assistant Editor), Higher Executive Officer, two Executive Officers and a Clerical Officer.

The Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs Éamon Ó Cuív indicated that he was "very pleased that the relevant Departments with Foras management and the unions were able to reach agreement in this case on an approach which accords with the Government's decentralisation plan for Gaoth Dobhair and which takes account of the best interests of the existing staff also.
"As an agency of An Foras Teanga, the North South Language Body, which was established on 2 December 1999 when the British-Irish Agreement Act 1999 came into effect, the mission of Foras na Gaeilge is to promote the Irish language in everyday life, throughout the island of Ireland.
"Therefore, I am very happy that agreement has been reached in regard to staffing matters as this will enable Foras to greatly strengthen its provision of Irish language services," he added.
