Interpreter​/Translator; Irish Language

Position: Interpreter/Translator (Irish Language)
The Interpretation and Translation Service is part of the Office of the Official Report (Hansard), which is responsible for producing the official reports of Assembly plenary and Committee business, and a range of other reporting and editorial services. An official report is a substantially verbatim transcript of proceedings; it records what was said as well as what was decided. Hansard reports proceedings in the language used by those speaking, and staff in the Interpretation and Translation Service provide a simultaneous passive interpretation service to ensure that a person without Irish is not placed at a disadvantage during Assembly plenary and Committee meetings.

In addition, the Interpretation and Translation Service provides text translation and other miscellaneous services in respect of Irish. The Assembly Commission wishes to appoint an Interpreter/Translator (Irish Language) with excellent interpreting, text translation and editorial skills in respect of the Irish language. The person appointed will be expected to undertake simultaneous interpretation and text translation duties and may also be expected to provide parliamentary reporting and editorial services in Irish and English.
