Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment

I can confirm that 100% of my department’s social media video content included captions during 2023. None of the video content included Irish Sign Language translations in 2023.Please note that the social media activity of the Agencies and Public Bodies under my Department’s remit is an operational matter for those agencies, and I do not have any direct function in these matters.
