My department and offices have had a nil spend with the 'Association of Translators and Interpreters Ireland ' for the period 2020 to 1 November 2025.
In respect of the agencies that come within my remit, they are statutorily independent in their functions and this is an operational matter for them. I have, therefore, referred the Deputy's question to the agencies for direct reply.
