The Equality Tribunal is an independent statutory body under the aegis of my Department. As an independent quasi-judicial body, I have no role in the day-to-day exercise of its functions.

I am informed that the total cost of providing interpreters for the Equality Tribunal, per year, from 2007 to 2012 was as set out in the following table.

Year

Cost (€)

2007

6,234.19

2008

14,720.72

2009

12,531.49

2010

27,899.71

2011

38,452.01

2012

36,940.24

Total

I am informed that the Equality Tribunal does not have specific records in relation to the representative bodies or persons with the highest number of requests for the provision of interpreter services for the period in question.
