It is intended to fill the vacant musical directorship and the whole matter is at present under very careful consideration. The Deputy may rest assured that, in making an appointment, the interests of the national language will receive every consideration, but musical competency must, of course, be the dominating factor.
Will the Minister say if any steps have been taken to fill the vacancy?
No.
