Deputy Neasa Hourigan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs 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.

View answerMy Department complies with the European Union (Accessibility of Websites and Mobile Applications of Public Sector Bodies) Regulations 2020 and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1. The Department endeavours to maximise accessibility of its video content published on social media, and to date has prioritised provision of video content with accompanying closed captions/subtitles rather than Irish sign language, in order to achieve this wherever practical. The percentage of videos published on the primary social media channels of the Department that included closed captioning/subtitling between 1 January 2023 and 31 December 2023, inclusive, is as follows:
