Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 8 February 2023
59. Deputy Neasa Hourigan asked the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications the percentage of social media videos posted on his Department's social media accounts or the social media accounts of public bodies and agencies that operate under the remit of his Department, that included closed captioning or subtitling and Irish sign language translations between 1 January 2022 and 31 December 2022, inclusive. [5568/23]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department ensures, to the greatest extent possible, that our published video content includes closed captioning or subtitling. In 2022, 94.7% of videos posted on Twitter were captioned, while 93% of videos posted on Facebook/Instagram were subtitled. No videos with Irish sign language translations were posted.
The agencies of my Department are responsible for their own social media accounts. I have therefore forwarded the Deputy’s question to the relevant agencies for direct reply.
