Issuing fee: 1.50 €

Off the top of my head. This would be like getting a copy of your birth certificate from Somerset House in the UK - don't know for Ireland Michael to give you a parallel. And you can ask for as many copies as you like whenever you want if you pay the fees.
(Droit d'expédition)

Sorry to have been in such a rush earlier. Coming back to this, I would have put much higher confidence!

agree Sheila Wilson : Seems a reasonable fee for P&P // Ah, I see: still not exhorbitant, though

But I think this is just the fee for issuing the doc!
neutral Tom Fudge : I'd put the currency sign before the number and without a space - http://www.proz.com/kudoz/English/economics/1103907-the_euro...

I always hesitate over the positioning of the currency sign - the pound sign goes before, but I dithered here, and then I put the gap in because it was in the original which was not logical in fact. Agree with your provisos therefore.

Fee for certified copy

I think it might stand for "droit d'expédition", which refers to the fixed cost of providing an authenticated/certified copy of the birth certificate.

See this ref from FR-EN legal glossary:

That said, Noni might be right with "issuing fee"...
