What is the Database of Public Service Terminology?
According to the provisions of the Official Languages Act 2003, public bodies will be required to ensure that all notices, stationery and signage appear in Irish only or, bilingually, in Irish and English. This database contains a wide range of basic terminology which should prove helpful to public companies in fulfilling this obligation.
You can search the database by language, by category (alphabetically), or you can search the entire database for an individual term using the search engine.
The terms are provided in the form of classified lists relating to various areas of the public service and further areas and terms will be added to the database by degrees.
Where it was evident that more than one term is in popular usage, the variant forms have been included.
