Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 24 January 2024
175. Deputy Neasa Hourigan asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the percentage of social media videos posted on his Departmental social media accounts or the social media accounts of public bodies and agencies that operate under his remit, that included closed captioning/subtitling and Irish sign language translations between 1 January 2023 and 31 December 2023, inclusive. [3357/24]
View answerI wish to advise the Deputy that in 2023 94.7% of videos posted on my Department’s social media accounts included closed captions / subtitles. There were no videos posted during 2023 that included Irish sign language translations.
As regards the State Bodies under the aegis of my Department, the information requested is an operational matter for the State Bodies themselves.
I have referred the Deputy’s question to the Agencies and have requested that a response should issue within 10 days.
