I propose to take Questions Nos. 172 and 173 together.

My Department is assessing how the provisions of the Official Languages Act 2003 will impact on the Department's work both at home and abroad. The Department's strategy statement is published in both Irish and English. However, it is not possible to say what the cost of implementing the provisions of the Act will be for the Department or for any body under its aegis.
