Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 17 February 2005
86 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism the extent to which he proposes to encourage subtitling with a view to meeting the needs of those with hearing impairment; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5490/05]
Amharc ar fhreagraI have no power to direct that subtitling be included on film productions. However, I understand that new technologies are greatly increasing the level of provision on an ongoing basis and that DVDs and broadcast media, for example, include a subtitling function as a matter of routine.
