View answerThe Department of Rural and Community Development was established on 19th July 2017 to provide a renewed and consolidated focus on rural and community development in Ireland.
My Department and the organisations under the aegis of the Department are strongly committed to meeting their obligations under the Irish Sign Language Act 2017.
I can confirm that the Department and the organisations under the aegis of the Department have been requested to complete the National Disability Authority’s (NDA) survey which confirms that we have met our obligations under Section 6 and Section 7 of the Act. My Department returned the completed questionnaire to the NDA on 26 March 2021.
