About the roles

The Department of Foreign Affairs is promoting Lawyer-Linguist (grade AD 7) positions in the EU Institutions, which are open for applications until 10 April.

Lawyer-linguists provide procedural, drafting, and legal advice to proposals for legislative acts and check the legal and linguistic consistency of legislative texts across different languages. There is a dedicated stream for graduates in Irish law, with approximately 33 posts available. Candidates must be proficient in English and two other official EU languages, one of which can be Irish.

Further information on the competition is available on the EU Careers website.
