Irish hospitals and other healthcare settings (for example, community health services, hospices, GPs) can provide interpreters. 

Tell them you need an interpreter as early as possible before your appointment so that they can arrange it for you.   

Online translation tools should not be used instead of getting an interpreter in healthcare settings.
