With your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to take Questions Nos. 35 and 36 together.
The Deputies presumably have in mind the appointment of Irish persons to fill positions with the institutions of the European Communities.
While the question of recruitment for posts in the secretariats of the institutions of the enlarged Communities is strictly a matter for the institutions concerned, the Government will be making recommendations regarding the filling of certain of the more senior posts. In this it is intended to put forward only those who are fully qualified and suitable for the posts involved.
