Dear Translation Centre for the Bodies of the European Union,

Here is my request, as made on November 04, 2013.

Dear Translation Centre for the Bodies of the European Union,

Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as
developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting documents which
contain the following information:

The cost that has incurred for the translation of EU documents to
and from the language of Irish, dating from the inclusion of Irish
as an offical language of the European Union in June 2005, up to
the present date of this request.

The salaries paid to translators of the Irish language in the
Translation Centre.

How many Irish translators are currently active, or have been
active previously in the Translation Centre.

- The translation of documents includes those mentioned under
"REGULATION No 1 determining the languages to be used by the
European Economic Community" (1958):

1. Documents which a Member State or a person subject to the
jurisdiction of a Member State sends to institutions of the
Community.
The reply which is drafted in the same language.

2. Documents which an institution of the Community sends to a
Member State or to a person subject to the jurisdiction of a Member
State.

3. Regulations and other documents of general application

4. The Official Journal of the European Union.

5. Proceedings of the Court of Justice

and also including
6. Legislation, draft legislation and treaties.

Yours faithfully,

Rachel McLaughlin
