The role currently exists in a number of counties around the country.
Offaly County Council is facing calls to introduce a new position to promote the Irish language.
Councillor John Carroll is urging the local authority to establish and fill the role of an Irish Officer, which would work with local groups to push our native tongue.
The position already exists in Dublin, Meath and Mayo.
As it stands, Offaly County Council publishes most documents in both English and Irish, and some promotions and notices are also done bilingually.
The Independent rep says he wants to see Irish used more around the county:
