The total expenditure incurred by my Department and it Offices in translating and printing Irish language publications over the last three years was €98,323. The table below provides a breakdown of this amount by the categories requested.
Within my Department arrangements are in place whereby staff members who are competent in Irish have volunteered their services with regard to the translation of documents into Irish. This facilitates the reduction of costs in this area.
