The estimated cost of rebranding the Department in terms of stationery costs, website amendments, changes to signage, information booklets, etc. is €35,000 approx.

Amendments to application forms and information leaflets will take immediate effect following the annual print, which was deferred in this instance from April until May to take account of the change of name. There will be no extra cost for these changes.

In the case of other changes such as headed paper and envelopes, some of these will take effect immediately, and some will be on a phased basis over the coming weeks, spending on the levels of stocks to be used up.
