A translation service which won a Supreme Court case over the awarding of an interpretation contract for the State has brought a new legal challenge over the latest public tendering process for the service.

Word Perfect Translation Services Ltd was the losing bidder in a 2016 competition to provide the service which was organised by an office within the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. Word Perfect had been supplying a translation service to the State since 2007.
