Is it possible to become a Certified Legal Irish Language Translator?

How does one go about it?

You must be a professional member of the ITIA, then In order to be certified as a "Certified Legal Translator" you must have at least five years of professional experience as a translator and/or interpreter and you must successfully complete two test translations.

I believe there is currently only a requirement for one certified Irish legal translator and that position is currently filled by James Pelow (owner of Snasta).
