The Department of Transport Irish Language Scheme 2021-2024, was recently affirmed by the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media, and sets out how the Department will provide services to members of the public in Irish over the period of the Scheme.  I have attached a copy of the scheme and it will be available shortly on my Department's website. In addition, my Department has an Irish Language Unit and a dedicated phone line to assist the public with any queries they may have in Irish.

I have forwarded your question to the agencies under the aegis of my Department for direct

response to you. If you do not receive a reply within 10 working days please contact my private office.

Most forms issued by my Department are available in Irish and English. We aim to have any remaining forms made available bilingually over the period 2021-2024 in accordance with the commitments in my  Department's recently approved Irish Language Scheme.  I have attached a copy of the Scheme for information and it will be available shortly on my Department's website.
