Expenditure by my Department on translation services is set out in the table below for the period from 1 January 2013 to date.

The upgrading of departmental websites and associated online services included once-off translation of a large volume of content on the website from English to Irish. Website and online translation costs over the period in question were €79,816. Other translation services included translation of official publications and documents into Irish. From time to time the Department’s Missions abroad may also incur some small local translation costs.
