My Department has an Irish language officer available to oversee the translation of documents into Irish. The Department's website has Irish and English versions including bilingual Frequently Asked Questions in relation to each section of the Department. All guidelines, information leaflets and application forms in relation to the Department's schemes, programmes and processes are made available in both Irish and English.
My Department has also recently published the following documentation in Irish:
- A Geology book in Irish titled ‘An Gheolaíocht ó Bhun go Barr’ for use in primary and secondary schools;
- An Irish language version of the poster ‘The Bedrock Map of Ireland’ titled ‘Geolaíocht Bhuncharraige na hÉireann’ ; and
- An Irish version of ‘The Real Map of Ireland’ titled Fíor Léarscáil na hÉireann.
There is also an Irish language version of the geological education website ‘Geoschol’ currently in production.
Irish language training is also available on request to staff through our learning and development unit.
