Ulster-Scots 'Commissioner' post now advertised

Here's the press release. To apply for this position you'd have to have some astonishingly optimistic expectation, against almost all other evidences, that 'the system' that runs Northern Ireland will - or has ever wanted to - advance Ulster-Scots in any substantial way. 

For the past 25+ years, many excellent people have worked very hard within the few Ulster-Scots entities, pouring their energies into trying to make those effective - only to find that 'the system' is content for those few entities to exist (under-resourced in every conceivable way), but not for those entities to prosper

As the old saying goes, better tae hae nane than a bad yin. I wish the successful applicant well.
