The Department remains committed to meeting all its obligations under the Official Languages Act and to providing timely and meaningful information and guidance through Irish.
Links shared by the Department of Health on social media direct to the Department's website, gov.ie/health, which is consistently managed to ensure a high level of content available in both English and Irish
I have also referred the Deputy's question to the HSE to allow them to respond directly regarding the HSE social media accounts.
