CSO Language Scheme 2019-2022

The second language scheme of the Central Statistics Office came into effect on 8th April 2019. It will last for a period of three years from that date, or until a scheme is approved to succeed it, whichever is the latest.

This scheme lays out the current services available in Irish, in English and bilingually from the CSO. In addition, details are provided on the measures to be taken over a three-year period to build on service provision and to meet the needs of survey respondents, other customers and the wider public.
