Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 5 March 2014
85. Deputy John Deasy asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation if he will provide a breakdown of his Department's expenditure in translating and printing Irish language publications, documents, advertisements, notices and bilingual signage in each of the past three years. [11052/14]
View answerThe total expenditure incurred by my Department and its Offices in translating and printing Irish language publications over the last three years was €98,323. The following table provides a breakdown of this amount by the categories requested.
Within my Department arrangements are in place whereby staff members who are competent in Irish have volunteered their services with regard to the translation of documents into Irish. This facilitates the reduction of costs in this area.
