It is the policy of my Department that most documents which require to be translated into Irish are published electronically rather than in hard copy.
The following is the information relating to the cost involved in the translation into Irish and the printing of those documents:
Year | 2008 | 2009 |
Translation | â'¬37,838 | â'¬16,454 |
Printing | â'¬11,899 | â'¬2,065 |
These figures do not include the cost of the work of staff of my Department in the translation of Documents.
