I propose to take Questions Nos. 151 and 152 together.

Most of the resultant changes from the re-naming of the Department will be implemented in-house by the existing staff of the Department. These include work on the Department's website, changing email addresses and the Department's re-titled customer charter. Provision had already been made this year for the purchase of new headed paper which is required under the Department's Irish Language Scheme so no additional costs arise in this regard. It is estimated that costs of approximately €15,000 will arise mainly in relation to the purchase of new name plaques. These costs will be met from the Department's existing Vote. It is expected that all changes will be effected within a matter of weeks.
