Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 6 October 2004
143 Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs if he has proposals for introducing measures to have induction loops installed in all premises coming under the criteria of her Department, welfare offices and so on. [23368/04]
View answerMy Department is committed to having all of its offices and services accessible to people with disabilities.
The installation of induction loop systems in existing offices is provided for under the disabled access programme of works managed by the Office of Public Works and to date, such systems have been installed in a number of offices.
In addition, it is now an accepted standard requirement that induction loop systems be installed in all new and refurbished buildings occupied by my Department.
