As stated in response to questions answered on the 31 March and 20 April 2010 on this subject, 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 re-titling the Department's 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.

It is estimated that costs of approximately €15,000 may arise in relation to the purchase of new name plaques and signage. This amount is estimated based on the existing signage types in use. However, as part of the competitive tendering process to address the replacement of this signage, various alternative signage types and quotations will be considered and the final expenditure may be under this estimated amount. These costs will be met from within the Department's existing Vote.
