In view of the upset that has been caused by this and the complete lack of respect for the first language of this country, I suggest that a dedicated line be set up. In light of the fact that the mistake was not made by the people calling - is due to the system and relates to both categories Mr. Lowry has identified - can I suggest that consideration be given to establishing a dedicated line for people to contact? The DCC is not completely bilingual, as is required. There is a big section of information, approximately eight lines in total, for which there is no corresponding Irish translation. As it happens, the name of the country is incorrect on the certificate. It says Republic of Ireland and we all know that the name of country is Éire or Ireland. Why and how did this happen? Will these lines be completely translated going forward for any digital certificates yet to issue?
