Written answers

Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth

The information requested is not routinely collated. However, my Department endeavours to provide information in both English and Irish, not only through social media, but through all communications channels and materials. We are committed to complying with requirements under the Official Languages Act, and this is kept under regular review.
