In 2011, the cost to my Department and its Offices of implementing the Official Languages Act 2003 amounted to €48,424.

Costs incurred by the Agencies under my Department’s remit in terms of compliance with the Official Languages Act 2003 is a day-to-day administrative matter for the Agencies for which I have no direct function. However, I have referred the Question to the Agencies for direct reply to the Deputy.
